Cobalt Blue

A novel for courageous readers and seekers, COBALT BLUE is a turbulent, gorgeous ride into sacred sex, compulsion, obsession, unmentionable attractions, and ultimate empowering redemption. Burned out from work and a break-up, Andie Branson, a 38-year-old commercial artist in a small Southern town, hungers for whatever will force her out of her familiar limits. She has a sudden, shocking religious encounter, kundalini rising, the physical experience of tantric enlightenment.

When this mysterious, seductive yet terrifying brush with the divine catapults Andie into compulsive sexual behavior she must find what has seized her and stop these new disturbing cravings.

Andie's struggle to regain control of her mind and body is complicated by a too-close connection with her glamorous parents, especially her magnetically attractive father, and by working closely with a bigoted U.S. Senator, the man who for her personifies evil.

Her story ranges from the elegant golf town of Pinehurst, North Carolina, to the raucous and shadowy byways of pre-Katrina New Orleans, with pauses in India, Ecuador, and other exotic locations.
