Book excerpt: BRAINWASHED FROM THE AGE OF SIX... Philomene Doucette is a made-to-order assassin, brainwashed and fractured from systematic abuse. Now aged twenty-one, it is the eve of her most important assignment yet: executing Haruto Mori, a deadly Yakuza clan leader, but her focus is wavering with the awakening of something she hasn't felt in a long time - empathy. Smuggled into Japan to carry out the kill, she finds herself entangled in a web of half-truths and shadow agendas. When the carnage exacts a personal toll, Philomene takes it all on--like the beautiful monster she was programmed to be. From the haunting beauty of the bayou to the land of the rising sun, NEO GEISHA is an immersive, scintillating, edge-of-your-seat, graphic tale of a young assassin's harrowing journey of self-discovery as she struggles between her programming and her desire for free will.

Book Review 1: "Creating the musical world of 'Neo Geisha' is an exciting challenge because the music must evoke both extreme vulnerability while at the same time bringing us into the dark and sexy world that our heroine inhabits." -- Daniel Klintworth, Composer Book Review 2: "Monica created such an edgy sensual world for Neo Geisha and, being writing partners and friends for so long, I knew she’d appreciate a song that evoked espionage and alt-rock. That’s how the song PHASES became a part of this beautiful project. A life that keeps shifting in phases.” -- Bobby Daye, Songwriter Book Review 3: "Bullets, disguises, and lies...the spy game just got a little deadlier. I'm thrilled to help build a lavish world featuring a richly complicated African-American character who will undoubtedly enhance the spy thriller genre." -- Harvey B. Richards III, Graphic Artist Book review 4: "As the muse for 'Neo Geisha,' I am lending my likeness to a complex protagonist. People are often so much more than what they seem. This character and her alluring journey are no exception." -- Bryce Charles, Actress Book Review 5: "My role as a literary and cultural coach was to ensure that 'Neo Geisha' compellingly takes the reader to Japanese culture and subculture." -- Dr. Yuko Kurahashi, Professor
