The Golf Widow

by Shannon M. Kirkland

Overview

Mike, a socially awkward computer programmer, is virtually abandoned by his wife, Christie, as she pursues a career in Golf. Although married, they are more comfortable as best friends than lovers. Mike's life has revolved around playing the housewife, reading and working. He has depended on Christie to provide companionship and be his social outlet, hiding behind her outgoing personality to avoid conversations with other people. Now he must face his fears and venture out into the world by himself. His first step starts with a visit to the local coffee shop.

He meets Eddie, who has played the social scene and is ready to settle down and pursue his love of writing. He's attracted to Mike; however, his last disastrous attempt at a relationship has left him reluctant to follow his heart. He's already been burned once by falling in love with a married man so he's determined not to let it happen again.

Mike is intrigued by Eddie and is thrilled to find someone who enjoys books as much as he does. Reading Eddie's stories, written under a pseudonym, opens his eyes to the possibility of a deeply fulfilling love and to the truth about his own sexuality.

Will Eddie give Mike a chance? Will Mike find his confidence, overcome his fears and finally find the love he has been missing?

About the Author

I have been an avid reader all of my life, primarily reading fiction in the mystery/suspense, fantasy and m/m romance genres. Having switched to predominantly reading eBooks, I've discovered many self-published writers. One of my favorites is Alp Mortal. I contacted him via his website to ask about one of his books and after exchanging a few emails with him, I mentioned how I always thought it would be fun to write fiction. He urged me to try it and even gave me an idea from which my first title, The Golf Widow, was born.

It has been an exciting and rewarding experience. I encourage everyone to try it for themselves. I've always appreciated the skills and talent it takes to write fiction but never realized the extent of the challenges and how thought-provoking it is compared to business writing. This experience has definitely given me a new perspective and an even greater appreciation for the craft. It's been so enlightening and exhilarating; now that I've started, I can't stop. I've already started on my next story!
