Like all cubical-bound underlings at Stranton Advertising, Lissy is desperate to be a Creative. Her chic superiors enjoy liquid lunches at hip restaurants where intricate bits of sushi are served on the bare midsections of androgynous models while she buries herself in data entry.
When Stranton lands the Barbie Pill account, everything changes — until Lissy discovers the beauty pill's ugly secret.
The Creatives explores what women will risk in their quest for the perfect career, romance, and dress size.
In writing this novel, I extensively researched Bremelanotide, the real life Barbie Pill available by prescription in Europe and illegally (but temptingly worth the prison time) online.
The Creatives placed third in the 2009 Romance Writers of America Stiletto Contest.
