Tall Babies is a work of fiction, with all that implies. It is a story of contemplation by Sybil on her public and private behavior as well as her life, and is offered as a testimonial to strong women everywhere. Sybil would be the first to admit she was a sociopath, which she did confess to me shortly before she died. I told her I’ve known that for years.
Tall Babies is about self-centered determination and absolute acceptance of ones’ imperfections. “You can’t truly change who you are. But you can profit by it.”
Tall Babies does contain some sex, for she always mixed business with pleasure for thirty-four years before retiring her stable of ‘boys’. Sybil isn’t an erotic tale of sexual explorations or expectations, or some ‘50 Shades’ of fantasies. It is a story of one woman who strove to make wealthy men feel more confident, more aggressive in business, better husbands or boyfriends, and, most importantly, fulfilled her need to be loved and to give love in return. While allowing her to make a buck or two doing so.
Here's the link to Tall Babies. Awaiting premium approval.

I think I figured out the dimensions for the cover of a 6x9 book on amazon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Men Are Just Tall Babies has been accepted for Premium Distribution. Online retailers like Apple, B&N, etc., should have it by this weekend.
It should be available on Amazon soon, in ebook format. I think I figured out the dimensions for the cover of a 6x9 book on amazon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks chelsfield. I'm trying the Amazon Cover Creator app now to see if I can get a decent cover to fit on the 6x9 book.

Just curious, I thought sociopaths were unable to love. I realize that is a stereotype but I just found it interesting Sybil was that self-aware :-)

Just teasing you, but story does not have a lot of sex, is not erotic and probably not a romance but the protagonist makes her living through intimate relationships. Need a new category, maybe she is a sex coach or therapist :-)

Need a new category, maybe she is a sex coach or therapist :-) She made her living providing men the sense of being cared for both romantically and in their business world. Sybil had been my friend since high school and after my divorce it took three years before she offered to have sex with me. She felt safe with me and felt my accepting her warts and all without sex being involved was what to her meant I loved her the way she felt most comfortable.
She wasn't a sex therapist or sex coach because she integrated herself into the man's business life as well as personal life. Most of the wives who knew her quite liked her and never felt threatened by her simply because Sybil wasn't interested in the man romantically but instead saw him as a business contact.

Thanks chelsfield. I'm trying the Amazon Cover Creator app now to see if I can get a decent cover to fit on the 6x9 book. I use 1600 x 2500 size window in photoshop and copy image in, resizing to fit 1600 x 2500 window. But it is easier is to just open the print book cover jpg/graphic, select and copy the front page area into a new photoshop window, resize it to 1600 x 2500 and 300 dpi, and save. It will qualify for all distributors. :-)

To be accepted as you are is a gift.
