This is an intensive erotic story about a father's love for his grown up daughter. Deeply in love with her, he loses his Soul.

About the Book

I was intrigued by how a normal father without the slightest vice could end up by making love with his 24 year old daughter. I have simply tried to follow his path, which begins with the near death of his mother, occurring almost exactly at the same time as the birth of Eve, his second child. His mother survived. She had three heart attacks, but she managed to survive.

Her son had three children, like his mother's three attacks, and through them, he also managed to survive.

As with all parents, his children end up by becoming adults and eventually depart from his life to live their own lives. They leave him, but they all know that he will always be there to help them if they are ever in trouble. So, one after another, his grown up children come back to visit him, to try to re-start their lives. Eve, his daughter, is the last to return. She was being beaten up by her boyfriend, and after three years of this treatment, and after a forced abortion, she flees back into her father's arms.

The instant she returns back into his life, Sweet Child of Mine becomes a sort of "frustantasy": a mixture of frustration and fantasy. Eve's father is confronted with an overpowering desire to make love to his daughter. One slight encouragement from her and he could so easily plunge head first into the madness of a passionate love affair. One clear touch and he would commit Incest.

But what if his daughter does not have the same sentiments towards him, as he has towards her? What if he is mistaking her normal daughterly love for something else?

One forbidden kiss from her and he knows he could lose his Soul. But there again, deep down inside himself he realises that even without touching his daughter, his Soul is already lost.

Sweet Child of Mine is a powerful story about Incest, or rather the desire that leads up to it.

About the Author

Brendan Burke was born on the tenth of January in 1955 in Saint Mary's hospital in London. He spent some of his most formative years in the East End of London. After passing his eleven plus he went to a grammar school where he was suitable bullied until he was old enough to become a Prefect and get his own back.

He left school with hardly any O and A levels in his pocket but enough to get him into a bank before working for the Greater London Council.

Like a rat abandoning a sinking ship, he left the GLC when he was twenty years old and went to a College to become a teacher. After three wonderful years there, he somehow left it with a Bachelor of Education degree in his pocket.

His main subject was Drama.

After leaving College, now knowing that he had no intention of becoming a teacher, he tried various jobs before spending six months working on a Kibbutz in Israel. He met a French girl there who invited him to come to France one day to pick grapes.

One thing led to another and many months later he found himself picking grapes with the girl in question.

A beautiful French girl happened to pass by in the street in front of the house where he was staying. He jumped out of the first floor window, ran after her and invited her to have a drink with him. She became his girlfriend.

She was a student in a French University and he moved in with her.

She has long since gone but he has been the director of a French professional theatre company in France since 1985.

He is not married but has three children.

Sweet Child of Mine is his second book. His first one, Lady Marmalade, has never been published.
