About this ebook

Happy-go-lucky Michelle has come back from travelling and working abroad and has a terrible secret. But she can't decide what's worse: Keeping it bottled up inside, or telling her family.

Aidan comes home after having studied abroad for six years. Many things he likes about home are changing for the worst or disappearing. Too many things he doesn't care for are popping up like weeds.

Owen has lived a care-free love life. One day, he falls for someone hard and it shocks him awake... and then there's more bad news.

At a grad reunion, people wonder how they'll appear in the eyes of others and how they'll see others. Has anything really changed?

Author

K.H. McMurray

Born in a seaside town in BC and raised in the Greater Vancouver area, I started writing not long after moving to Montreal in 1987, where I've lived for the most part since. A few of my earlier poems were published in student newspapers and in an anthology called "Corridors" in the first half of the 1990s. In 1997, I published a chapbook titled "A Visit" which was once a chapter to my first novel "Boomerangs and Square Pegs" but now is a stand-alone work. "Boomerangs" is now available online and also in print form via the author, as is new release "Then Let's Keep Dancing".Reading is an escape for me, while writing is a kind of release. Writing enables me to get things out in the open in a way that I couldn't through other media or situations. My writings deal with plausibility -- if I'd wanted to write my life story, I'd have written an autobiography, and trust me, my life just isn't *that* interesting. No, I'm more interested in the in-betweeners, the damaged goods, the beautiful losers, the broken poets, the taken-for-granteds: I consider myself among these types.When I don't write, I teach English as a second language, edit texts, and translate from French to English (and sometimes the other way around). I also get involved in social and environmental causes from time to time.
