About the author

Gary S. Kadet was a journalist for 15 years working the crime, arts and general assignments beats for such newspapers as the Boston Herald, Globe and the Quincy Patriot Ledger. He was the Crime Editor for the nationally read Boston Book Review and wrote for Playboy Magazine, which published his fiction. He also ran the world's tenth-largest adult website and was a trailblazer in the early years of the Internet. He's the author of the literary thriller/romance novel "D/s - an Anti-Love Story" with Tor/Forge/Macmillan which was a main selection of the Doubleday book-of-the-month-club. The work broke new ground in detailing the seamy side of real-world (non-fantasy) BDSM, much to the chagrin of its self-appointed "community," who felt threatened by this work of fiction (in the same way bogus preachers felt about Sinclair Lewis' "Elmer Gantry"). Not shying away from controversy, his newest work is the literary novel "The Ogre Life," which on the surface is about the world of bodybuilding and all its attendant sexual fetishism, sleaze and drug use, but which actually questions the meaning of reality itself.
