Back to THREESOME

Now that I've submitted BEARDED LADY to Miriam and Kiley, it's time to return to a project that's been in the back of my mind ever since I finished it three years ago: THREESOME. Here's how I described it in the original query:

THREESOME is the story of Leigh and Evan, a couple who travel from their home in the Midwest to a vacation spot in Northern California in order to rekindle their marriage in the wake of the murder of their teenage daughter. During dinner on their first night there, they meet Annie, a young woman who awakens both paternal and sexual feelings in them. What ensues will test their relationship not only to one another, but within themselves.

This book is an exploration of love and loss, longing and fulfillment, temptation and resistance. It delves into the idea of emotional geometry to look at the difference between a pair and a triangle, coming away not with any hard-and-fast conclusion but rather revealing the vulnerabilities of each configuration. Ultimately, Leigh, Evan and Annie learn difficult truths while teaching unexpected lessons.

Miriam likes it. I'm there!
