Samuel Is Running
A multi-pov literary novel SAMUEL IS RUNNING (80,000 words). Samuel Williams, husband and father of two, suffers a mid-life crisis when his ex writes a bestseller that, he believes, is about him. SAMUEL IS RUNNING mixes the plot-driven introspective style of THE BEE STING by Paul Murray with the romantic bent of FREE LOVE by Tessa Hadley. As a coming-of-age story for midlife, SAMUEL IS RUNNING explores parenting after trauma, open marriage, and the messy struggle to redefine the rules of life. But at its core, it is a love story where the two people falling in love just happen to be husband and wife. Contact for full Query, synopsis and first chapter.
