Summary:

When I posted six chapters of a novelette, entitled, "Double Take," I received quite a lot of reviews and suggestions. The suggestions were to: Flesh out the characters more, tell us more about the planet and background, add more action, more about Bearach (spelled Baarach in the original), and make it into a novel. I have listened and this is the real beginning. I will revise and insert the original somewhere in the novel. I know where I want to go with it and I will write it as I post it. The main character will still be Ryon, whom you will find was an extraordinary baby. Your former feedback is much appreciated. I hope I have incorporated most of your suggestions in the story.

FATHERLIKE is about a woman dealing with her father’s desertion of her as a child, her husband coming to terms with his sexuality, their separation and battle for custody of their son, the consequences of deceit, and love’s ignorance of convention. It tracks the parallel stories of an estranged husband and wife as they come to terms with their own and their family’s secrets; of love, money, sexuality, paternity, and even a father’s death. The fight for their child, across countries and cultures, ultimately forces them to face certain truths.
