Lisa's writing

Exit, Pursued By Bear (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters   —   updated 17 days ago, 09:46AM
description: Trevor is twenty-eight, in his last year at a third rate theatre school outside London. Charming, funny, talented, he’s the most popular student at school. He’s also on his fifth career try, but who’s counting? And he won’t commit where he’s not assured of success – whether a career, or a lover. Or himself. Not a problem. Until an illicit, sexually consuming affair threatens everything Trevor thought he cared nothing about. Exit, Pursued By Bear addresses the way we regularly mistake the dancer for the dance, the actor for the role, and the way our snap judgments and preconceptions cause us to mete out casual cruelties in our closest relationships. And that true intimacy is the greatest risk of all.

1296744 Hi Lisa!

Nice to meet you. Best of luck with your writing. Isn't writing the most magical, frustrating, amazing, difficult, beautiful thing? (Do you think I have mixed feelings about it?!)

My novel, FOR THE MAY QUEEN, is coming out in a few days. If you want to read the first chapter, go here:

Take care,
Kate
