Cooking Bacon Naked

Drinking, fighting, and cheating on her. Whatever! She’ll take him back like she’s done so many times before, right? As long as he can stay alive and out of prison long enough to prove he loves her.

Stephen, a connoisseur of 7-Eleven merlot and wild women, has the perfect life for a guy who is overloaded with prescription medications, suffering from rage and bipolar disorders, and on probation for the premeditated assault of a seedy porno producer. "…Red wine is served at room temperature and the floor around my bed is always room temperature."

Liza, his off-again, on-again fiancée is the only good in his forsaken life. She is book smart, but street dumb and willing to do anything to break into show business. Her poster-girl good looks and country-girl gullibility made her a perfect target for Nikolai, an aged porn star turned porn producer. Nikolai has tricked Liza into believing she is just filming a raunchy soap opera. He allowed her to fake-sex her way through the first half of the film, leading her to believe that fade-to-black means no real sex. Liza learns that in porn films, there are no special effects and the gooey white stuff isn’t dishwashing liquid mixed with baking soda. When she refuses to have real sex with the block-away ugly actor from a banned porn film called Really Big, she’s given a life-threatening ultimatum, and Stephen may be the only man who can save her.

Stephen E. Chatman, emerged in 2003 as an author to take note of. His memoirs, Confessions of a Womanizer, opened the corridors of the male mind, and captured the attention of the publishing industry. Mary Mitchell of the Chicago Sun-Times noted Confessions of a Womanizer as, "A thought provoking and eye-opening look at intimate relationships."

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Stephen E. Chatman has lived all over the country. He has escaped the altar twice, and after the release of his memoirs, he is hopelessly single.

Cooking Bacon Naked, a strikingly unconventional romantic comedy, further parlays this masterful swordsman of the pens’ literary talents. His pen-in-your-face writing evolved from reading Playboy magazine, as a child, under the covers with a flashlight. Stephen Chatman has positioned himself as a versatile writer who is here to stay. He is currently working on his third novel, Little Black Book.
