Synopsis

Dances with Prostitutes is the story of the author's life after moving to Costa Rica in his mid fifties and, in particular his and other's experiences with prostitutes as well as (occasionally) "regular" girls and his fellow expatriates. This book is neither porn nor erotica. It necessarily includes sexual content since to try to avoid it would be idiotic and futile. A sincere attempt has been made to give a realistic picture of both the prostitutes, the "profession" and the men who consort with them. The tone is generally light and humorous, but the darker side is also unavoidable. Still, there are real human beings on both sides and if the reader would like to meet some of them, they can be found here.
