Sedating Elaine

An exuberant black comedy about love grief sex guilt and one woman's harebrained scheme to tranquilize her voraciously amorous girlfriend for a few days so that she might pay off her drug dealer make soup and finally get some peace and quiet.

Frances was not looking for a relationship when she met Elaine in a bar. She was in fact looking to drown her sorrows in a pint or twelve and nurse a broken heart shattered by the gorgeous electric Adrienne. But somehow (it involved a steady stream of beer and weed as things often did with Frances) Elaine ended up in Frances's bed and never left.

Now faced with mounting pressure from her drug dealer Dom (and his goon Betty) Frances comes up with a terrible idea: For the rent money she asks Elaine to move in with her for real. Unfortunately this seemingly romantic overture makes Elaine even more sex-crazed and maniacal with love. Frances fears she may never escape the relationship so given no choice she makes the obvious decision: She will sedate Elaine.

A story as enthusiastically madcap and funny as it is smart and emotionally surprising Sedating Elaine introduces a roster of unforgettable characters and an indelible wildly exciting new voice in fiction.
