It's a writer's prerogative to change her mind. Right? Of course, it is. Is it also a writer's prerogative to flip-flop on the title of the work-in-progress? I'd have to say yes since I just did it.
If the truth be told, it was Memphis first and then I second-guessed myself and made it July Heat.
And this, dear readers, is why it has taken me forever to wrap up the story. I knew in my heart it had the wrong title and there was only one way to fix it. Yet I hesitated.
One is never too old or too experienced to make a course correction.
Now I can finally say and mean it, Memphis is coming soon!
A bit about Memphis:
Jake Soames is the quintessential everyman. He survived a
wild youth and grew up strong. The only thing missing from his life is that one
special guy to tilt his world. A man to walk beside him without playing head
games with him.
With nowhere else to go, Memphis Wheeler knocked on the door
of a former cellmate and found the refuge he’d been promised. His spirit is wounded,
and he needs a place to rest and recover from years of physical abuse. He
worries he’ll never be able to allow another man to touch him again.
When Jake meets his buddy’s houseguest, he’s instantly drawn
to the shy, retiring younger man. Memphis doesn’t say much and seems skittish
around him, yet when Jake proposes they participate in a road rally, Memphis
agrees to be his navigator. But there’s no timed course to traverse to reach
the future Jake envisions with Memphis. It’ll take patience and understanding
to help Memphis to move on from his past and say yes to more than an afternoon
together.
