Difficult Lies
About this ebook
Is Allan Vickery alive, or is he dead? After a blow to the head from a golf ball, Vic isn’t certain himself. As it turns out, he’s comatose and the things he learns while unconscious are life-changing when he reawakens. But for a man in mid-life crisis—struggling to keep his marriage alive while attempting to become a recognized painter and still succeed at teaching high school art—his new understanding becomes a volatile accelerant for issues that merely smoldered in the past. In the resulting inferno, Vic finds passion in the arms of a lover and riches in the world of high-stakes golf matches. Whether or not you play golf, you cannot avoid difficult lies in your quest to find the fairway to happiness.
About the author
Christopher T. Werkman lives on a few acres outside Haskins, Ohio with his partner, Karen Wolf, and a six-pack of cats. He completed a thirty year career as an art teacher in Toledo, Ohio. Following that, he served as an adjunct art education instructor at the University of Toledo for ten years. He still paints, and designed covers for several published novels and a short story collection, but his primary passion is for writing fiction. When he isn’t writing, he plays too much golf in the summer, too much indoor tennis in the winter, and rides his Kawasaki Ninja whenever traction is adequate. His short stories have appeared in numerous literary journals and anthologies. Difficult Lies is his first novel.
