    About this ebook

    In the small town of Mockmay, word travels fast that Maggie is back in town. When she arrives, she enacts a drunken clause she and Chalk signed off on years ago, and just like that, Chalk is a married man.

    As Maggie tries to build a marriage with him, Chalk's thoughts turn more and more to the mysterious physicist who enchanted him the day they met over the coffee shop counter. Muriel crosses his path every day, and soon she shows that she's been thinking about him, too.

    Their affair could lead to many things. Will murder be one of them?

    Erik J. Avalon

    When I was a kid, stupid things like Freddy Kruger scared the crap out of me. I'd hide under a blanket or out pacing in the kitchen when a scary movie or show was on at the babysitter's. Over time, though, the things that frightened me when I was small began to intrigue me, enthrall me, and finally to inspire me. Now I push myself into corners of the psyche and possibility that make me uncomfortable, so that maybe I can push my readers into unexpected regions of human thought and understanding as well.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
