The Love Chateau and Other Stories

The Love Chateau is the story of a Shangri-La for lovers. It is preceded by seven different kinds of love stories, not easy to categorize because most of the principal characters are not usually thought of as lovers, although the warmth we associate with love is there, wearing different clothes. Here the reader will also find stories of social comment, mystery, magical realism, and, most of all, humor. One finds humor in the tale of the Irishman who did not believe in baths but used Vicks VapoRub instead of soap, the adventures of the inventors of sperm necklaces and the locksmith who collected $2,500 for making a single key for the chastity belt for the beautiful wife of a jealous husband. Along the way you will read of the makeshift church service in an automobile showroom that is interrupted by the sudden entrance of a Go-Go dancer looking for her misplaced G-string when, unbeknown to the staid worshippers, the auto showroom had a different function.
