Hot off the Press!

Brand New Novel

An Ecstasy.  It's 1996. Five months of solitude on a small Lake Ontario island. She's taking a break from her clinging boyfriend and her career in insurance. He's writing a book of political essays under contract. His cottage is humble; hers not so much. She'll soon be launching a new music school with her best friend; he intends to hand in his book and go to the Rockies. They meet on the beach, walking their dogs.


Narrated from three distinct perspectives - his, hers, and conventional society's - An Ecstasy is a provocative existentialist love story, passionate, thoughtful, original and fun.
