Cybill Unbound removes society\u2019s preconceived notions about what type of sexual experience a woman can have \u2013 at any age. Her subject matter breaks through boundaries
and leaves her book in genre limbo. It is not exactly your standard romance and it is not erotica. It is sexual literary fiction for the curious-minded mature woman who needs to
know it is not too late \u2013 or shameful \u2013 to enjoy a spicy, invigorating relationship, perhaps outside the marriage. Cybill Unbound (Heliotrope Books, 2023) is about the sexual adventures of an older woman over a 30-year period. Cybill is 42 when the book begins and 72 when it ends during the pandemic. Cybill goes on having sexual adventures into her fifties and sixties.
\u201cWhy are so few novels written about and for women over 50?\u201d asks Hiller, 76. \u201cWomen want and need books that address sexual exploration, empowerment, and fulfillment. Cybill Unbound pioneers a frontier for the open-minded woman who feels suffocated by the mores of the past. My book shows a woman pursuing what forbidden relationships can offer. They don\u2019t always work out, but this doesn\u2019t daunt Cybill.\u201d
The provocative character, Cybill, is in some ways similar to Hiller. She is smart, sensual, and unafraid to challenge convention. \u201cI encourage women to explore what feels right for them and not to let outdated norms of how one is \u2018supposed\u2019 to act handcuff them.\u201d
