Exposure

I wrote FRUITION because I was interested in what my life might have been like if things had gone differently back in my teens. At the time I was forty-something and I had a lot to think about. Death was on my mind and like many people I expect, I wished I could go back and try again, knowing even a little of what I’d learned. I employed a kind of reincarnation device - four books for four lives. Most of the story is set in the afterlives, which let me enjoy myself inventing landscapes, cities, people and wildlife. I also had fun putting in some philosophical arguments, a love story and a few sex scenes. It’s a typical first novel - it’s got everything. But the basic question throughout is the same - life goes wrong. There’s no one big obvious trauma to blame. Somehow it just never works out. Why is that? And can it be changed? EXPOSURE is the first of four books in the FRUITION quartet
