Gasping for Air

Book Description HTML

25 year old Ben is struck down by breathlessness at the gym. Luckily Marcie, the intellectual PhD student, is there to help. Their new friendship helps them face their troubles - when doctors reveal the severity of Ben's condition, and as Marcie escapes her stale liaison with a married man. Written during the coronavirus pandemic, but set in early noughties Newcastle upon Tyne, this is the erotic story of two lovers finding each other, then drawing strength from their fast-paced relationship. The kitchen sink drama stays close to home, yet their explorations of uncensored sexuality and romantic fantasy are bold and revelatory. The sensuous joy of their graphically explicit passion even reveals a shared private world of imaginative spiritual awareness.

I live near Glastonbury, UK. Writing is my hobby, along with the study of Druidry (via the inspirational OBOD course). I wrote Gasping for Air during coronavirus lockdown. If it gets good ratings here, I'll share other stories!
