Veteran NY Fiction Author Begs Readers, "Please Look Past My Ugly Book Cover!"

July 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Well, perhaps not ugly in the visual sense of the word---chances are most may find it to be quite appealing, but one of the brightest voices in Contemporary African American Fiction exposes just how stripping can bring out the ugly in anyone if lured in by a yearning for status, money and material things. In what is likely to be her most controversial novel yet, author Hunter Hayes brings you Stripper Pole To Heaven, (Deuce Publishing July 28, 2010; Trade Paperback; $15.95). Compelling, reflective, and witty, it's a tale that in these hard times makes us all ponder about wanting to believe in something; a higher power, or maybe even more in ourselves.

When Lisette Jones transforms herself into "Golden" and hits the stage as a stripper, it's all or nothing---a dedication that's earning her top dollar at Club Bare. With the untimely death of her ex, it's a profession that chose her, so Lisette's determined to make it work, even if it means chasing dollars to maintain the comfortable lifestyle that she and her teenaged daughter are accustomed to. Being in the spotlight turns out to be downright addictive, but it doesn't help to fill the void of losing loved ones. Meet the possible solution in Cynthia, her scripture-quoting, bible-toting best friend. It's because of an invite from her that Lisette stumbles upon just the comfort she's been seeking in a higher power. Comforted, yes. Cured of all fears of remaining single and becoming possibly broke? No. For Lisette it's all about the here and now and to prevent getting stuck with nothing she's down for juggling everything; her closeted profession, giving love another try and her spiritual walk. Unfortunately---- it's a decision that she may have to pay the ultimate price tag for.

And

Cynthia Miller may be "scripture quoting and bible toting," but her life is far from perfect. When she walks through the doors of Target Marketing she's a high-ranking company manager, but just past the doorstop of her apartment, her abusive husband Clyde is the one calling all of the shots. Being both the ideal wife and consummate office exec is demanding, but the balancing act is a goal that Cynthia has set for herself; from shedding her homely image with what she believes will be a life-changing makeover, to indulging in her husband's twisted sexual fantasies nothing's off limits. But what will it take for her to realize that the only makeover she ever needed was the one on the inside?
