'Big Dickey' returns

"Oh, he just gets women!"
That was but one of the comments from a raving female fan
at Wednesday night's lauch of the latest tome from Afro-American
author Eric Jerome Dickey.
Titled Waking With Enemies, it succeeds Sleeping With Strangers.
The plot - not that it matters to the hordeof female fans who turned up at
Devon House to see and hear hm - centres on a hit mna who is himself the object of a hit. He moves form locale to locale while trying to find out who wants to kill him, to come to terms with his past and also to enjoy some heated sex with his girfriend (who wants him to kill her sister) among others.
Our arrival at the venue fouund Dickey getting into - what else? -a sex scene,
and women who otherwise feign disinterest in such matters were hanging on his
every word.
Its a relief to know, from our standpoint, that Dickey isn't only about steamy potboilers. He's also donje a book based on the X-Men character Storm, and in a previous interview with this writer, revealed that he was working on a graphic novel revival of the Afro-American comic superhero, The Black Panther.
