Carrie J. Evans has a few things in common with Sammi Harris, the main character in this book. Like Sammi, Carrie was born and raised in Atlanta. They both attended Georgia Tech and studied dance in New York City. Both are surrounded by accomplished women and have an eclectic group of truehearted, multiracial friends. They are geeks who love the art of storytelling: stories about self-aware people who lean into their courage to make their worlds better. For Carrie, it’s all about the exploration of intimacy, the main ingredient in steamy, passionate sex.
