The Facilitator
Reality is a corkscrew and humanity is the wine.
In one carefully compartmentalized section of her life, Martine TwoSeven likes stylish, sexy clothing and a meal that doesn t come out of a mech vendor. In the other, she s a Facilitator. She takes pride in her gift for helping souls pass with no pain, no sorrow, no fear, only pleasure. Whatever that pleasure may be.
A week after a particularly difficult case that feels off and goes terribly wrong, the dreams begin. Dreams inhabited by a mysterious man whose searing touch seems more real than it should. And who knows more than he should. Things that don t add up.
When a new Facilitator arrives at Eternal Tranquility, Johann Seven steps straight out of her dreams, a solid presence in her bed and her heart. First, he awakens her long-dormant passions. Then he reveals the unthinkable truth behind her life and her job and her world shatters.
Before she can pick up the pieces, Martine receives her next assignment to facilitate Johann. She has no choice but to obey, but when their neural pathways connect, she knows only one thing. If anyone s going down today, it won t be the man she loves.Warning: Contains advanced concepts about human nature, life, death, sex and reality. Sometimes more than one at a time. Read at your own risk and keep one foot on the floor at all times."

About the author
Sahara Kelly
247 books156 followersI'm really rather boring... Honestly. I live a pretty hum-drum life as a wife and mother. I shop at the local supermarket and use coupons now and again. See? Boring stuff.
I live in Virginia now, so I am learning all kinds of new things - such as being able to buy beer and wine along with bread and toothpaste. Wow!
Having been born and raised in England, I do possess a well-developed feel for the English countryside. Comes in handy for those Regency tales.
Even though I was transplanted over to the US side of the Atlantic, I still have ties to all things Brit. I bake sausage rolls and make Christmas pudding. You can take the girl out of England, but not England out of the girl, I guess.
I'm not sure anyone can write really well unless they read. A lot. I read anything and everything these days. And mostly on my couch with a book on my knees. Yes, the technology is out there for electronic versions, but there's not much to compare with a shiny new hardcover from a favorite author.

Martine is a Facilitator, a unique person who has cybernetic implants that allow her to "plug into" a person's consciousness and help them die happily and peacefully. There are other Facilitators but not many with her extreme skills. She works for a big company whose corporate greed is the stuff of nightmares, but not unrealistic even today.
After a particularly awful facilitation, she meets the man of her dreams, John, and slowly falls in love with him.
But nothing and no one is quite what they seem or say they are.
There are twists, turns and surprises, if not much action in this novella. There's sex, but not graphic. Lots of cussing. Some interesting and convoluted ideas about the nature of humanity and reality. Martine is a good character.
I liked the story but it's not one I'll reread because the ending, for me, was too unclear. I have no idea what was really going on outside of Martine's mind.
The romance was really good.
