Dangerous Machinations, Part Three (Origins): A Novel in Serialized Form

by Matthew Francis

Dangerous Machinations, Part Three (Origins) takes readers back to the early life of Naomi Wasserman, an innocent and gullible graduate student at Kyoto University. When a relationship with her T.A. takes an unforeseen and violent turn, Naomi is propelled back to Orange County and into the grip of her washed-up alcoholic mother Tricia and Tricia's fourth husband, Papa John, the founder and owner of a trucking company based in Bakersfield, California.

Part Three also introduces readers to the origins of the mysterious international Angel Army, led by the beautiful and deadly Orphan of Kharkiv, Svetlana Slutskaya, and her lethal sidekick Ekaterina, both of whom are hellbent on taking over the world by any and all means possible.

Throw in a Turkish transgender assassin, an ex-porn star with a bunny fetish named Fawn Darling, a wannabe cowboy poet with a Messiah complex, and -- of course -- Ashleigh of Ash by Ashleigh, the professional celebrity and cosmetic entrepreneur, Dangerous Machinations, Part Three (Origins) returns readers to the sexy and outrageous world first presented in Parts One and Two with new plots and machinations galore.

If you loved Parts One and Two, Dangerous Machinations, Part Three (Origins) is another healthy spoonful of guilty pleasure that will shock, delight, and keep you turning the pages long into the night.

The seduction has never been this intense...
