THREE will be released in Spring 2012 by PM/Flashpoint Press
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
– T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
One yellow April morning, a 17-year-old girl asks herself, “Do I dare to eat a peach?” What she decides will send her life in one of three directions.
That morning is long past. Now she is 41.
On one life path, she is Kitty. She’s been happily married for 23 years. Happily enough. Until Faye, her professor, kisses her.
On another path, she is Katherine, a physician. After the death of an old love, she contacts the one lover who still haunts her: a woman who renounced her for God.
On a third, she calls herself Ántonia. She’s barely survived the implosion of a lesbian utopian commune, one built on an abandoned oil rig.
Who are we? Who haven’t we been? Have we dared? Three of one woman’s possible lives are about to collide.

I just spent the last half hour reading the first chapters of your book ‘Three’ and was mightily impressed. To be honest, I wasn’t initially expecting much but when I reached the Ántonia I chapter I sat up in my chair and found myself reading faster and more intently and by the time that chapter finished, I was hooked. Loved Katherine. Was genuinely touched by Kitty (I’ve known people very like Kitty). I hope your arrangement with Flashpoint Press works out and that ‘Three’ is eventually published as I find myself wanting to read more, wanting to see how these three women’s lives entwine and what life eventually brings to each. I’ll be checking your webpage occasionally for further information.
Best of luck to you,
MT
