So I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets
Paint Me is now published in Hyperion’s Library in PDF and Kindle ePub for free download or online reading in the library.
Excerpt:
The short days of fall in the mountains were beautiful times for Melanie. The cool darkness traveled along her arms and face as she walked the forest trail. Fall covered everything in the burnt ocher of clouds set aflame by the sunset. The last light of day reflected off the dampness of turning leaves and the spicy scent of wet air mixed with the earthen musk of the forest floor. Melanie returned home with her spirits renewed. Gunnar’s accident was behind them, and she would do all she could to bring him from behind the veil of darkness into her arms where her love would heal him.
Blurb:
Paint Me is about Gunnar and his wife, who live in the Alpine Mountains of Switzerland with their cat, Gaston. After a car accident, Gunnar’s mind is damaged, with many memories and personality confused in a jumble of daydreams and his obsession with painting. His devoted wife tries every way she can to help Gunnar regain his old self and their former love shared in a picturesque setting.
Many of my current and former readers saw this story develop on my blog, and I used feedback in comments and emails to refine the short story to what it is today. Completely edited and formatted, it’s finally ready. This is a mystery romance in which we aren’t exactly sure what is happening until the final twist at the end. Please enjoy at your leisure.
