Kim

In Service to a Goddess #4

by Ed Howdershelt

Kim was Ed Cade's own personal goddess. In his world, there could be only her pleasure to which to aspire... But change is inevitable when your wife is in the Army, and their paradise ends when it overtakes Cade and Kim. While seeking a way to remain in Europe with Kim, Ed Cade is recruited into a career for which he is eminently suited; he accepts a position with a certain intelligence agency. His newfound status as a spook displeases many -- including Kim. Through break-ups and reunions, in danger and good-times, for excitement or love, with his goddess or other women, the reader follows Ed Cade from Texas to Virginia to Europe. From nightclubs to Emergency Rooms, archeological digs to mansions, and beaches to bedrooms, Ed's adventures explore both the US in the aftermath of Vietnam and Germany during the cold war. With his distinctive style and voice, Ed Howdershelt brings us a story packed with situations -- sensual and personal -- which will hook readers early and usher them in to the inner place where it is they who live the moments, feel the emotions, enjoy the triumphs, and suffer the failures. It becomes they who have loved and lost, who once held and will forever remember... Kim.
