With "Life Changing Applications... Plus-1", we are brought two fantasy and interracial misadventures in the world of female-led fiction - and men who, through error or need, knowingly or unknowingly, apply for positions that will - and consensually - alter the lives they have known up until then.
First up is Hillary Marshal's "A Most Strange Position", as a man finds his life in freefall after being released from prison for corporate fraud. Alone, friendless, and at the mercy of the welfare-state, he finds himself on a mandatory Work-Skills course arranged via his Job Centre. Which is when a glimmer of light breaks through the thunder clouds above his life when one of the course's Indian trainers brings news of a situation vacant she feels could be perfect for him... A vacant situation - and the "Live-In" position it offers - about to take his life in an entirely different direction... And in a way far more final and revealing way than he found his spell behind bars!
The second of our misadventures is Gillian Ormendroyd's "A Life Changing Application"; her tale of how one husband's dalliance with infidelity sets in motion the complete dismantling of his life. A dismantling that will estrange him from wife, family, and friends and see him uprooted from a now miserable and penniless existence in London to a more comfortable but more disciplined reality in the home of an affluent Syrian widow on the North-East coast above Scarborough... An affluent and authoritative Syrian widow who has both a plan and a purpose for how he his life will be spent going ahead... And just who he will be spending it on!
2-Works of interracial fantasy and domestic female-led fiction, for those readers who prefer their fantasies believable.
