Clanford, Illinois, is a tiny Midwest enclave with the second-highest net worth zip code in the country. Emma Mayfield is a thirty-something mom trying to keep her family and sanity together after a string of financial faux pas ahead of the unexpected COVID lockdown. When the town mayor announces the grand re-opening of Clanford, the high society set is in panic mode over their unexpected lockdown weight gain ahead of the exclusive Butternut Country Club's grandest social event of the season.
Enter the story's protagonist, Emma, along with her husband Craig and a totally unexpected co-conspirator, who introduces a quick weight loss scheme. The power-packed prescript's immediate and massive results turn the high society crowd into genteel versions of crackheads, willing to do just about anything for their next "fix."
All hell breaks loose when the unexpected physical side effects of P.D.P. (Public Displays of Pleasure) rocks the sensibilities of this conservative burg. Emma and the team scramble to take control of the situation to keep their clients safe, and their money train on track. The rapid-paced, hilarious unfolding of events may subject the reader to U.P.D.L. (Uncontrollable Public Displays of Laughter).
READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED (BUT CLEARLY NOT RECOMMENDED)
KT Nalla is a first time author unbound from sexual identity who believes that laughter is one of the most potent aphrodisiacs in all of humankind (and possibly Dogkind and Catkind although the author has interviewed neither dogs nor cats on this topic as of this writing). KT loves equally each day's sunrise and sunset and endeavors to fill the hours between with laughter and memories for themself as well as their readers. The author excelled at finger-paints in pre-school, sucking up in grammar school, mathleticism and creative writing in high school and partying and sleeping (usually in that order) at university (hence the six year Liberal Arts Degree). KT was born and raised everywhere and nowhere and currently resides in their created community of Clanford, Illinois where they look to share the uniqueness of the characters and setting with their readers so they too can enjoy the potency of the "aphrodisiac" generated from the events of post-COVID Clanford daily life.
