New novel coming soon to Substack:
The Divine and Sexual History of Timothy Finch
Wm. Blake, Adam and Eve
Twenty-year-old Timothy is finding it hard to get his life going. Having dropped out of uni, and abandoned a dead-end job, he volunteers at Sangreal Hall, a community for people with learning difficulties. He is intrigued by the outlandish spiritual ideas but distracted by his relentless attraction to other men.
April is eighteen, taking a gap year before uni. The practice of traditional rural crafts alongside other women is a respite from boys and dating, yet she is still overwhelmed by the attention she gets from young farmers, craftsmen, house-parents and the school-age sons of staff. April is drawn to the one volunteer who doesn't show any interest in her.
Where will Timothy and April's star-crossed path lead them?
