Story Behind The Book

For more than forty years, Kaylin has been fascinated with the arts and culture of Japan and has been fortunate in being able to travel across Asian with her family. Due to her husband’s business interests and roots stemming from Japan, she has had the remarkable opportunity to develop personal relationships with shipping agents, politicians, company executives, religious leaders and talented Geikos and Maikos who reside and perform in Kyoto’s Gion District. Her interest in this field, along with her fascination with the Japanese underworld, inspired her to write a story about the recovery of three cursed swords from a murdered prince’s tomb, which ultimately prevents the destruction of Japan and aids in healing damaged relationships. Kaylin spent six months researching Japanese history, the Yakuza, the Geisha life-style, sword fighting, martial arts, and natural disasters that befell Japan from the 17th to 21st centuries. It is her hope that this erotic, action-filled drama will entertain readers and honor dedicated Geikos and their sisters who strive to maintain the true culture and beauty of Japan.
