"Raedawn Somershoe lives in a trailer on the banks of the Fox River. She likes men and men like her. It runs in the family: her mother, Gelia, can seduce a man just by walking across a road. When they set their sights on a man, something magical happens." This book was long-listed for the Nebula award in 2005. "Jennifer Stevenson (born October 6, 1955, in Waukegan, Illinois) is a Chicago-based, American fantasy and romance author who mixes romantic comedy with magical realist, regional (usually Chicago-set) , working-class, and sex-positive storytelling. She is an active member of the American feminist speculative fiction community." "Her debut novel, Trash Sex Magic (published in 2004 by Small Beer Press) , earned a place on science-fiction industry journal Locus magazine's short list for its First Fantasy Short Novel Award in 2005, and on the Science Fiction Writers of America's long list for its Nebula Award in both 2005 and 2006. Trash Sex Magic was praised by American critic Jessica Crispin, founder of the literary-publishing newsblog Bookslut, for its non-patronizing portrayal of poor characters and of the lives of lower-class Chicagoans." ; Signed by Author.
