New Book Explores Psychology and Philosophy

Author Nick David melds sex, intrigue and secrets in an unexpected plot about chess.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 15, 2012

Chess and sex aren’t normally thought of in the same light, but that doesn’t mean they are completely separate. As the New York Daily News reported in “Chess Tournament Bans Cleavage; Two-Button Limit Due to Crude Comments from Spectators,” even professional chess tournaments have seen the intersection of chess and sexuality. With a story revolving around chess players, Nick David presents “Reckless Dreaming” (published by AuthorHouse). His new screenplay delves into the sexual, spiritual and psychological motivations of many characters, some of whom play more than one role.

Chess masters Tara and Michael stage a high-stakes match in San Francisco – a match that their chess rival fathers never got a chance to play. Tara, a reformed alcoholic, is a student of Eastern philosophy on a quest for enlightenment and love. She also has a life-threatening brain tumor that she keeps secret from Michael. Not knowing her condition, Michael employs a scheme to toy with Tara’s emotions. The story unfolds into a thrilling series of plots and subplots that merge into multiple twist climaxes.

During the writing of “Reckless Dreaming,” David sought out and took the best of various professional script critics’ advice. Meanwhile, he always maintained his overall vision for the work. Although David’s narrative includes erotic elements – sex and nudity – he assures readers that it is never gratuitous. “They occur or don’t occur based on plot and character needs,” says David. “Each spiritual viewpoint must be authentic and represented fairly as well.”
