Lust and Letters by Vincent Zandri

“Would you commit murder for your art?”

Sex.
It’s always on my mind. It follows me wherever I go. I can’t get enough of it. Can’t satiate the hunger, the desire, the addiction.
It’s who I am.

But I’m also a writer. You might have seen my name around. Or perhaps not.
There was a time I collected one rejection letter after the other. Editors said my prose was cold, lifeless, emotionless, and worst of all, lacking real life experience. I had thought that the love of my life, Stella, would be my muse. But as much as I lusted for her—as much as I’d became a slave to my desires for her—my prose still suffered.

But then a beautiful young woman by the name of Tara came into my life. She made me an offer I could not possibly refuse. An offer to be her “handyman.” The job would involve murder, but it would also involve raw sex, and pain, and it would provide me with an experience that would be injected directly into my first novel. The novel that would eventually take New York City by storm.
Savage Sins.

Have I sold my soul to the devil only to become the writer I always dreamed about? Have I finally tamed my desires? Or have they only grown more as I’ve grown more famous and wealthy? Will more people die so that my words can live?
Enter into my world and find out.

Oh, and how should you address me?
Just call me The Handyman.
