Aaron Stein, a handsome and very successful fertility specialist, seems to be the perfect gentleman. But his poise hides a terrible secret: Aaron is a psychopath who lures women for the thrill of securing their love and trust, only to discard them when he becomes bored. This new novel released by Dog Ear Publishing tells the story of Aaron, seducer of women's souls. Constance, his devoted cousin with secrets of her own, always protects Aaron, making up for a past accident, but does she take things too far? And did their relationship ever cross the line? 'He Counts Their Tears' reveals Aaron's perverse need to 'have all the power,' luring one woman after the next through a 'perfect relationship' that will end abruptly, shattering her psyche. Aaron will move on as if she never mattered. Because of course she never did. Even his wife, Ruth, who is otherwise a strong, capable doctor, becomes his possession, valued solely for satiating his extreme sexual needs and the front she provides for his madness. As Aaron cycles through his victims, he knows that the one person he can turn to is Constance, who made a bargain long ago that continues to haunt her. But events spiral out of control, and someone may pay the ultimate price.

When I heard that The Annex Theatre was putting on a play about a 19th century club of fencing lesbians, I figured I was in for a night of camp and euphemisms. Although that direction would have surely been entertaining, Elizabeth Hershly's world premiere of My Dear Miss Chancellor by Caitlin Gilman was coreographed with elegance, charm, and a rapier wit.
