Jacy McMasters is the first to admit she's a terrific liar and a screw-up. Then the ghost of JD Salinger asks her to "channel" a follow-up to his classic coming of age novel The Catcher in the Rye. Along with her new boyfriend Firth, a bear of a man who has no patience for mind games, the ghost in Jacy's head forces her confront a lifetime of secrets. The secrets she's been keeping from herself. She's kinda crazy, but she sure can tell a whopper of a story.


Normal:
A novella from
Bottom Drawer Publications
(2014)

What happens when a serious intellectual with a rich fantasy life marries an overachiever with a hot body? Sometimes they experience discord and separation. Other times, there's Goodreads, too many bottles of Haut-Brion, a luxe swingers club, and Lexus sex.

Bart and Katelyn Fiske are a normal couple with some all too normal marital issues. The Fiskes have two small children, an underwater mortgage, and too many bills to pay. He works hard, she spends harder. They haven't had sex in months, and Bart is sleeping in the den of their colonial-style home in Downwind Beach, Florida. The Fiskes attend couples counseling, but it isn't helping. They're on the verge of breaking up their ten year marriage.

Katelyn wants her husband to stop fantasizing about a woman from his past. Bart wants his wife to stop prying into his private space, his innermost thoughts. Dr. Colony, the high-end Palm Beach therapist, wants husband and wife to practice her mutualization exercises so that they can enjoy a normal relationship.

I'd like to mutualize her, Bart thinks. Fuck normal.

With the support of the therapist, Katelyn deals the dreaded ultimatum. For once, maybe twice, in his life, Bart takes the low road. He wants out, the freedom to pursue the woman of his dreams. Katelyn finally stops crying and heads for a three-way with Teena, her kinky friend from book group, and a dirty local judge.

The day doesn't turn out like anyone thought it would.

Normal is a fun romp through the perils of matrimonial estrangement. With spice and humor, this fast-paced novella clearly illustrates the benefits of working it out--however you can--in order to love the one you're with.
