Second Book: Circular Journey: An Online Encounter

Publisher: Word Clay

E-Publisher : Smashwords

Deck and Kate’s growing closeness is elusive yet addictive in many ways.  They are emotionally drawn to each other; yet question a future together.  Through an online correspondence, they examine aspects about one another that go beyond face-to-face relationships.  Do physical yearnings get in the way of true understanding of each other’s thoughts and getting to know each others’ innermost feelings?

Today’s adults seeking love their second or third time around are generally not sitting in smoky bars listening to music hoping that the love of their life will appear.  In this electronic age, relationships are often being formed through online encounters.  Today’s world is electronic.  People are at their electronic devices, forming new relationships by chatting, instant messaging, texting, friending, twittering, networking and using emerging technology of the day.

The running online conversation of the book enables readers to be voyeuristically drawn through Kate and Deck’s growing yet fragile relationship.
