SYNOPSIS
*** 5-star
Silver Medal winner in the 2014 Readers' Favorite Annual International Award
Contest ***
Growing numb to life, to his on-and-off girlfriend of many
years, his career, even Scotch, a man turns fifty. He is a translator who can
no longer dream of translating beautiful works of fiction. He is an amateur
musician who can no longer dream of expressing his life on a higher plane,
without words. As he glares inside himself he sees little but his declining
sexuality, his crumbling hold on life, a growing list of failed relationships,
and a darkening well of loneliness.
Stumbling upon an image on the Internet one night, he suddenly
hears cell doors sliding open. He stares at a young woman, in profile,
beautiful, unblinking, regal. Instinctively he knows that by lingering on that
image he will shatter a relationship that has kept him on the sane side of loneliness
as surely as if he stepped in front of a speeding eighteen-wheeler. But
desperate to feel alive again before time runs out, he knows he must see the
stranger behind the pixels on his laptop screen.
Although it is her image that first transfixes him, his eye
afterwards chances on a handful of words on the Internet page. She is a
dominatrix. The word triggers something inside him, blows the dust off
fantasies trickling back to adolescence, and slowly begins to re-choreograph
his decades of sexual memories. Was he ever really the dominant male he thought
he was? Did he have a sexual alter-ego? Was this the last card he had to play
in life? The face on the screen held the answer. He would find out even if it
killed him.

The Author
Wayne's Website / Goodreads / Twitter / Facebook
Award-winning author Wayne Clark was born in 1946 in Ottawa, Ont., but has called Montreal home since 1968. Woven through that time frame in no particular order have been interludes in Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver, Germany, Holland and Mexico.
By far the biggest slice in a pie chart of his career would be labelled journalism, including newspapers and magazines, as a reporter, editor and freelance writer. The other, smaller slices of the pie would also represent words in one form or another, in advertising as a copywriter and as a freelance translator. However, unquantifiable in a pie chart would be the slivers and shreds of time stolen over the years to write fiction.
