The Gentle Extortion

Kelli"s life seems to attract one ruckus after another. She has issues with city government, specifically the parking authority, and endures tyrannical bosses and an idiosyncratic grocery shopper suffering hallucinations. However, those are small issues compared to the life changes that occur when she is struck by a bolt of lightning. An overworked office worker with a bad temper, Kelli realizes she"s now stuck with unusual side effects: she doesn"t feel the cold, and she causes fires or worse accidents when she"s upset. After Gwen, a supermarket employee, witnesses an episode, the two become fast friends as Gwen studies Kelli"s ability and attributes it to some form of mental kinetic energy. Rochelle Chase crafts a clever tale of ultimate office woes and the complications of superhuman abilities. Kelli"s difficulties multiply when she destroys the vehicle of her arch nemesis with a thought-induced explosion, resulting in the loss of Kelli"s job. Gwen mentors and assists Kelli with plans to extort money from companies deemed detrimental to humankind. As Kelli and Gwen conduct research and practice sessions, they discover how Kelli"s tool can be utilized remotely, bringing them into a world of complications as they consider how to use Kelli"s gift. The Gentle Extortion reveals the satisfying revenge one can wreak when a great power is unleashed. Kelli and Gwen"s careful planning results in a successful extortion perpetrated against a golf course and the minor corruption of a casino. But when their extortion victims track them down to attempt retribution, the women need more strength than they alone share and recruit the sympathetic man Daniel to help them with extrication. With Daniel"s help, they face the anger of the injured companies. Can Kelli control The Gentle Extortion with her ever increasing bursts of havoc?
