Inscribed by the author in ink on the inside front cover to someone she met at a meeting of the Romance Writers of America. It is described as an amateur Beauty and the Beast fiction fanzine, intended solely for the enjoyment of the readers and does not infringe upon copyrights....In her author's note, Kleinsorge states: "Like all true obsessions, this novella arose out of the need to come to terms with a situation that affected me deeply - personally." The often erotic story recounts the relationship between Vincent, the beast-like male character and Catherine, a beautiful young woman. They also have a baby named Jacob. Promotional material accompanying the book says that it is written in the style of more sensual category romance on the general market today. Bound in softcovers with illustration of Vincent and Catherine on the front cover, with a black spiral comb spine. A clear mylar sheet protects the front cover. Interior pages are clean and bright, with 16 full page black and white illustrations. The book is accompanied by two sets of three promotional sheets , the first with the description, quotes, and ordering information. One of the sheets offers a copy of an audio-cassette of the text, and the third is a message from the author to readers. In about fine condition.
