yellojktCharacters: 1] The evil but seductive twin sisters.
Imagine that they are sleeper agents for Hizbollah. One marries an Irish-American MD who is a sympathizer with the IRA and took a quickie course in intel gathering from Hizbollah. One marries the chief trader for American interests in Iraq, but sheds him when the Iraq War has no more useful intel.
2] The well meaning, but over-sexed former HS athlete and valedictorian, WP grad, reserve Major, and scholar/author, who we imagine learns of the evil twins through her time embedded with the CIA chief, who is too blind to have seen through them.
3] The we imagine honorable but manipulable CIA chief and generals who protect our land.
4] Jack Reacher [tm], who brings everyone to their senses, probably by slaying the evil twins, turning the Irish doctor, bedding the oversexed scholar, and redeeming the reputations of the honorable men, in some way I can’t figure out yet.
5] The Real Housewives [tm] of Tampa.
Some possible connections and plot turns:
Hizbollah was floating the couple in Tampa to lavish living in order to gain access to Central Command, but cut them off because of the War in Syria, or because they were not getting enough good stuff from the couple, who were having too good of a time.
Evil twin got so many wheels involved in her custody battle that Hizbollah shifted its financing to her.
Reacher [tm] first met the oversexed athlete/scholar/author when he was guarding a missile base in ND and she was a curious HS valedictorian. Didn’t have sex with her then but did have to remove her from the missile base.
Reacher [tm] is not Tom Cruise.
All twists and turns and perversions are welcome.

The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense.

YJ and NoVA, we are talking trash novel here. Airplane reading. “And then…” story.
Reacher [tm] is retired Major and former MP who vagabonds around the country with one change of underwear but with sufficient funds to temporarily call anyplace home, as he saves America from the likes of the evil twins.
Make sense? Are you kidding me?

I am very fond of the Travis McGee series where the hero was a Korean War veteran who financed his beach bum lifestyle by recovering misappropriated assets for a 50% recovery fee. In doing so, he often ended up engaging in carnal activities which would make James Bond blush. Would that fiction were closer to truth.

My trash novel (and I’ve actually written most of it) involves a Vermont businessman and bon vivant spending the Christmas holidays of 1938 at his recently acquired vacation house, deep in the woods of Illinois. Accompanied by his frigid shrew of a wife and her demurely shy maidservant, he is surprised when their maidservant first makes most lascivious advances towards him, repents, and then make similar advances again the next day. After some thought, he determines the source of the maidservant’s unexpected ardor to be an artifact acquired at a Moroccan bazar some years past, and wonders if this golden talisman might be used to thaw the frozen heart of his own, cold wife. Much (very) explicit sex follows, all while trying to keep to a vocabulary appropriate for a refined and respectable gentleman of 1938.
The novel itself is mostly complete, although very slight on story (it’s mostly the hero debating whether or not to use his magical talisman to compel much debauched sex, followed by aforementioned debauchery), though I confess I’ve thought of going back and forcing myself to tack on an ending and self-publishing under a pseudonym to see if I could get a few tiny crumbs of that “50 Shades of Grey” market.

Sure I shouldn’t be finishing mine instead?
I’m pretty sure the scholar has an oral fixation, illustrated by the amount of time she spends thoughtfully chewing on one stem or the other of her librarian glasses.
