Geezer Pleaser

To Pawn a Heart of Gold Newest Romantic Screenplay Entertains with Perverse World of Gold-Digger NEW YORK How often one speaks of a heart of gold. How rarely one considers its monetary value. In his new book, Geezer Pleaser (published by AuthorHouse), Lawrence J. Corneck stuns readers yet again with his dark humor, unsavory characters, daring dialogue and unusual predicaments, but this time with the story of Asha, a woman hungry for love and money, who often times confuses the two. A sexy call girl who pursues men depending on the size of their wallets, Asha begins to date two men at once one being a reliable and responsible man named Wendell who is often neglected by Asha, the other being an outlandish and arrogant businessman named Rolando who pursues her despite his marriage to Neptune, a minor movie star. Asha knows that the love triangle is doomed from the beginning, toying with an affair with a married man and stringing along a gullible wanna-be knight, but she continues on her rollercoaster of emotions, pinning the men against each other for money, affection and a few laughs. But Asha also has a soft side that readers glimpse now and again. Brief moments during which her genuine love for both men, mostly notably the scene when Wendell bails her out of jail, occur throughout the book. She has a teenage daughter about whom she constantly worries. She cares for her elderly mother and often visits her in the retirement home where she stays. What little money she manages to scrounge from men all goes toward the welfare of those she loves, leaving next to nothing to satisfy her greed. Despite her desire for financial security, love is at the heart of her. Asha lives by the motto, I dont care whose heart is broken as long as it aint mine.
