The Pleasure Machine
Revenge is a dish best served cold, or so the saying goes. The Pleasure Machine explores the all-too-human desire for vengeance. It is a peculiar, distinctly sexual revenge, where lovers and strangers are inexorably compelled to engage in sexual acts by the power of their own unleashed passions raging far beyond their control.

Who is Don Winslow? Hard to say; but we can only tell you who he is NOT. He is not the REAL Don Winslow. That honor belongs to a guy who writes whodunits for a living. In a case of bad timing (for him) the fake Don Winslow emerged in the golden age of erotic fiction and had established an international reputation as a writer of quality erotica. Then along came the author with birthright to the name and, as he struggled to become a literary icon in his chosen genre, he found to his alarm that people kept asking him if he still wrote those “dirty books.” One can sympathize with a writer who tries so hard to be taken seriously, only to find his reputation soiled by a common pornographer! And so it goes. Life is unfair.
And so we can tell you dear reader that the fake Don Winslow is an internationally best-selling author who has written some 20 books of erotic fiction.
