Richard is a blunt man whom tells it like it is. He is hated by men because he is now telling you their secrets--how they think, what they do to get sex and avoid marriage and how they make you fall in love with them while they are cheating on you. He isn't trying to tell you what you want to hear. He doesn't sugar coat anything. He tells you what you need to hear to make your dating experience pleasurable for you too. He is not a psychologist or sociologist. He is just a guy's guy whom has had countless experiences with various women from the girl next door to a pin-up model and he was a dick to all of them. He had no intention of marrying them or even dating them. He just wanted to use them for sex. Richard finally had an epiphany and realized what he was doing to these poor women. Further, he decided he wanted more out of life than just meaningless sex. He wanted love, marriage and children. He became reformed and suggests you date a Reformed Player because they have all the good qualities (looks, confidence, and bravado) of a player but have had enough of the game. They are now ready for a one-on-one after party with you. A nice guy is fine but you most likely aren't attracted to him because he doesn't have that je ne sais quoi quality of a player.

After a decade of living in the United States, ELISE ENGLE returns to Japan to intersect a parallel world from which she diverged years ago. Now a woman in her early forties, faced with the dissolution of her marriage, she seeks safe harbor in a Zen Buddhist temple, outside of bustling Tokyo. It is from this backdrop that she will begin to reflect on the journey to her mid-life. The story unfolds through reflections of Elise as a younger character, one who embraces adventure, love and longing. Zen Buddhist principles are interwoven with Elise's journey, to tell the story of a soul seeking peace and a sense of self again. "She touches the splintering timber and the smell of tar fills her nose. Her eyes follow the heavy doors to the place where they intersect the blue sky. A few abandoned snowflakes fall, brushing her cheeks. Elise squints at the light above and breathes deeply. She has arrived. In some ways her journey has ended and, although feeling relief, she knows the most difficult journey is yet to begin. A single tear slides down her right cheek and she tastes salt. She tastes him." Entering the heavy wooden doors of the temple, her life begins to flash before her eyes in a series of slow motion frames. Within these walls she will face, again, the person she is and the choices she has made. The smell of the wind in her nose standing high on a mountain peak; the song of colliding bamboo high above her head; the dusting of snow over autumn leaves in the temple garden; the feeling of a loved one she lost so many years ago; her heart beating once again when she thought her soul had chosen death once more - to experience each image, in essence, is to devour the pages of the Season of the Cicada. In this novel, Elise creates a second chance - to relive the context of her youth and, at the same time, experience the fruits of her growing wisdom.
