Three Houses/Three Ways

Happy New Year, Y’all!

Want more romance in 2023? Author Julie Compton wrote: “Reading Three Houses made me want to wake up my husband to have sex.” Just sayin’.

A poet and a writer, suddenly single under similar circumstances, meet at the house where Jack Kerouac toiled in obscurity before On The Road changed his life. Three Houses is a narrative in verse documenting the ecstasies, agonies and everydays of a phoenix rising from the ashes of their troubled pasts. These are words spoken (and sometimes yelled) heart to heart, written for private consumption, but published for friends old and new, for those who believe in love, and for anyone standing at a crossroads wondering: Is this all there is?

Here’s a link to buy the paperback version.

Rather download it to your Kindle?

If you like what you hear, order the entire Three Houses collection, read by the authors, from Audible.

Like a fly on the wall, observe a REAL romance in all its agony and ecstasy-preferably with somebody you’d love to wake up.
