In the humorous novel DOMs Need Love Too!, a Yale psychology professor encounters a small group of healthy, vigorous, flag-loving seniors at a racquetball and health club and secretly decides to create a case study out of the merry makers, better known as the Day Old Muffins. Middle-aged Eve is obligated to submit an academic paper titled Men Without Partners to the University at the conclusion of the school year. When she witnesses the senior comrades hitting on a young, pretty maiden with an array of grandiose promises, she is both dismayed and intrigued by their sophomoric behavior. As Eve infiltrates the voyeuristic group to study their chauvinistic attitudes, she wonders if there is such a thing as male menopause-a condition that causes men to overcompensate a diminished libido. Eve is surprised to find the men boast an intellectual depth beyond her expectations and as two Day Old Muffins vie for her attention, jealously, extortion, and love encircle the group, complicating matters even further. As Eve seeks to uncover the nature of the force which brings the six men together so faithfully, her analytical harness is unleashed, revealing her true womanhood.

Religion is a device used to take the place of spirituality. If slavery didn't exist, we'd never know anything about religion. Religion gave us the act of calling on a "God" publicly through the pain and agony of being abused. While the oppressor had us shackled and bound, we were mentally/ physically beaten into "Hell" verbally calling upon the source. The source didn't have to appear because "IT" has always been there WITHIN. All we had to do was STAND UP!! Sad to say, "The FEAR still resides within our minds to this very day." STOP calling upon what can't exist outside of ourselves!! The power of change begins in the minds of YOURSELVES!! - Lamont Burno
