Obligations

Well, family and social obligations got in the way of my intentions to use my day off this week to write exclusively. Thank God for the three day weekend, though! I did make a few rather important discoveries today, though. MarLo is originally from Chicago. Claire's mother is from Central Barren, Indiana. A place I find funny because the name literally means Middle of Nowhere.

Abstract

David is the 18-year-old star academic in his Cognitive Sciences PhD Program at Indiana University, but even his genius-level intellect can't aid him in gaining an understanding of Claire, the universally-loved “townie” who caters his weekly departmental luncheon. Will his deep fascination with Claire's ability to engage in extrasensory perception derail his nascent career and subject his promising dissertation to the ridicule of his colleagues?

Project Reach is intended to be a work of literary fiction written in the present tense from alternating first person perspectives. It explores the nature of consciousness and the limits of human perception while remaining grounded in the powerful bonds that sometimes develop between individuals of widely divergent personalities, talents, and backgrounds.

The manuscript is being subjected to peer review by a panel of five members who hold degrees in theater, fine arts in photography, graphic art, history, English, humanities, history and philosophy of science, and deaf education.
