Instead of waiting until More than a Sex Therapist is published I thought I’d offer my faithful followers an update and an insight. The good news is that the story is completed. As is the case with much of my work, it is based on old notes and my many previous attempts at writing stories.

Prior to having a mentor and becoming published, I saved a lot of ideas and short passages that I thought would be useful to create a story. Anyway, here I am with another tale, presently performing the hard part … the editing process to polish the manuscript and produce my best.

.

Once again, one of my aims is to prove that sometimes less is more.

As I’ve said before, the size should not affect the satisfaction. There may be fewer words in a novella than a novel, but it’s how they’re used that defines whether the storytelling is effective. In this tale, I’ve created four main characters, but all are important.

Adrian is the narrator, and also the central character. His mistake is not so much doing what he’s been doing, but, like most people, getting caught.

Rita is Adrian’s attractive wife, who needs help to deal with the discovery of her husband’s weakness. In desperation, she seeks advice by checking an unusual source.

Stephanie, a self-styled sex therapist, is introduced into the lives of the couple. She is unconventional in many ways, so it’s not clear if her methods will be successful.

Kenny, a long-time friend of Adrian, is the fourth person in this tale. He is a necessary piece of the whole picture, and strangely, I found him the most difficult to portray … at first.

To avoid spoilers, there isn’t much more I can say at the moment except to hope that the story, when finally published, is as enjoyable to read as it has been to write. If I work hard and still give it time to rest between edits, I aim to publish by the end of July 2022.

As always, thank you for your generous support, and special thanks to those who review my books or send me private feedback via my Contact page.
