Dear Reader,
Have you ever concocted the perfect plan? You know what I mean: You decide you’ll just get that one particular job, then you’ll head up that high-profile project, bringing it in under budget and on schedule, of course! That will naturally lead to another promotion and, before you know it, you’re the head honcho.
At least, that’s the way the plan goes.
Or maybe you’ll just clean out that front hall closet, the one you have to lean against to shut the door. Then, while you’re at it, you might as well get rid of the kitchen floor’s waxy yellow buildup, rewire your house and convert your attic to a charming vacation getaway complete with Jacuzzi and exercise room for less than $50.
I got to thinking about plans—and reality—and I realized that for most of us, real life has a nasty way of interfering with our ambitions. So that’s why I had my hero and heroine construct their own plans to build perfect lives, get their perfect jobs and conduct a perfect affair. As a writer, all that perfection is just too good a target to pass up.
And wasn’t there something about the best laid plans...
Happy reading!
