I have read a number of stories on this site that deal with pheromones and their sexual connections. Although they are no more fantastic as a story element than magic or space aliens, they are actually a real thing. So, given my professional and personal interests, I decided to do some research on the subject. I found it really fascinating, and branched out to the commercial applications that are connected with it. Therefore, all of the technical information is as accurate as I could relay it, although I have of course fantasized about the potential repercussions of “What if humans really …?” That latter thought was the genesis of this story, so that’s why I have and will continue to base all of the plot on this tiny aspect of genetics.
By the way, I want to thank those readers who have been kind enough to politely point out my errors in the subject of law, which I have tried to correct. Although I actually do have some slight background in that field, it is no longer of great concern to me, so I did not bother to research what I had included in this story.
I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, DM
