Sleeping With The Material World

Sleeping With The Material World is a coming of age story about a girl who travels the world seeking a modelling career before finally finding herself.  Sarah travels to Tokyo to begin her fashion adventure, but quickly realizes she’s more interested in the boys and the lifestyle than the modelling, and thus begins a whirlwind five years of travelling across the globe chasing men and job opportunities. Rubbing shoulders with professional athletes, Hong Kong mafiosos and corrupt Brazilian police, Sarah struggles to make a name for herself as a model and chases a seemingly unattainable playboy around the globe.

I co-wrote Sleeping With The Material World with Sarah Jackman. The manuscript remains unpublished but is available upon request.
