Book Spotlight: Kiss My Boots! by Jennifer Learmont

 


MY COMMITMENT TO EATING HEALTHY WAS ONLY EQUALED BY MY DESIRE FOR COCAINE... 


Setting out on an adventure to the USA with my best friend, we had no plans, no rules and no limits. It started in the wild 80's in Hollywood, LA and the spread across the '90's, fueled by drugs, sex, rock n roll. We met the people who later became famous actors, musicians, singers. I took some risks, made mistakes and lived through them; I was one of the lucky ones.


For 14 years I worked as a Dominatrix in Hollywood. 


I was a natural and loved the work. My clients included a US General, Top Surgeons, Politicians, High Court Judges and VIPs. There is a grey side to my work, and no one really knows what goes on behind the dungeon doors.


I married a charming, captivating Italian/American criminal and lived a dangerous life, involved in crime, drugs and crazy choices where I almost lost my life. My turning point came the day I walked into the Sanctuary of an Interdenominational Church. I loved it so much I joined the gospel choir and took up yoga. 


Now I was a dominatrix, yoga student singing in a gospel choir. 


Eventually, and exhausted, I returned to Australia permanently to set up my own yoga studio and started to build a new life away from a blurred past. I was a wild and fearless child with a kind compassionate heart and a determination to live my life to the full, regardless of any cost. 


"A spectacular life journey of a woman filled by verve and passion for life and who found her place far from where she thought it was going to be...sensitively written and thoughtful reflection of an explorative youth...wonderful..." Tara, Indiebooks reviewer


Book Excerpt:


"One night, Steve and I were at home, smoking cocaine and, naturally, we ran out, which is the mist desperate feeling.  Steve went out to get some more, and he seemed to take foreverl  I was frantically pacing the floor for him to return.  I couldn't stand it any longer, so to take the edge off, I took some over the counter sleeping pills to relax my agitation.  Finally, Steve returned and quickly cooked up the cocaine.  I took one hit, and that's all I remember."
