When I lived in Hollywood, years ago, I heard about four guys who hired a prostitute and set her up in an apartment, so they could share her sexual favors at their convenience. I thought I might write a murder mystery involving these men. Then I asked myself, why can't four women do the same thing? Aren't we sexually liberated these days? I realized that it would be much more interesting if the women hired a Boytoy and even more forbidden. That is when I got really excited about writing this book. I hope that you all like the results of this thought process in my book, Deadly Pleasures
"Firmin writes more like a seasoned storyteller than a debut novelist,...Deadly Pleasures is recommended for readers who like to be both titillated and entertained. Ones certainly hopes that the author, an iUniverse Rising Star, has more naughty novels up her sleeves." Jill Allen, Clarion Reviews. (Five star review)
"Firmin's first novel is a first-rate murder mystery...swiftly paced tale of lust, seduction, duplicity and horror, Firmin's debut easily keeps the pages turning." Kirkus Reviews
"Sex and the City meets James Patterson in this tale of friendship that's peppered with enough thriller action to make Deadly Pleasures a solid guilty pleasure." Blueink Reviews
