Produktbeschreibung

Twenty-one-year-old college senior Will Carlisle feels increasingly broken. For years everything he touches crumbles. Worst of all, he can't make the things work that he cares most about: Relationships with girls, with his best friend, his college track and field career. Is it fallout, from losing... her? Or is he just crazy? Unstable? Defective? He hopes life will improve when he begins dating Ann, a bright, spontaneous girl who sees the best in him. He wants to take things further with her, but how? At the end of a date with Ann, he yearns to tell her what she means to him and take that next dangerous step into a deeper relationship, but anxiety and fear overcome him and he flees her apartment. What happens next may hold the key to end his losing streak, if he will let it. Readers who enjoy character studies, coming of age, young adult fiction or fiction set in the late 20th century will find The Space Between a compelling read.

Autorenporträt

As a college student, medical student and eventually a physician, I never had ambitions toward writing or publishing outside of trying to get A's on English assignments and producing clear and concise medical records. A journal entry every few years was the closest I ever came to voluntary writing. SomethingI consistently appreciated about a good novel was that an author seemed to possess a supernatural clairvoyance that I, as a mere mortal, would never understand and could never achieve. Something changed after the premature death of my high school best friend in 2005. The desire tohave a positive influence on my friend's orphaned two-year-old child led to the idea for a short memoir of as many of our high school antics as I could remember. In 2007, soon after this project began, the backward look into high school memories produced an epiphany. That epiphany led to ideas for a novel. In 2008, ideas began migrating from mind to paper. In 2017, I completed the short memoir and had the privilege of presenting it to his then fifteen-year-old child. In 2020, the novel was finished and is now presented to you. Fifteen years after my best friend's death, I have learned many things about life, perhaps the least of which is this: novel writing has little if anything to do with supernatural clairvoyance and everything to do with vision, persistence, tireless writing and revising, and the unquenchable desire to get the story burning inside me into a shareable medium. My hope is that through this novel you might see what I've seen, feel what I've felt, and learn what I've learned.
