The Ghostwriter’s Wife
The second book of The Ghostwriter’s Series, as with The Involuntary Ghostwriter, consists of intertwining narrative threads. One, The Words, while the other, as the title suggests, tells the story of ANNIE FRY, the Wife of Jonathon Fry, the Involuntary Ghostwriter. Stumbling upon her husband’s computer, which he’d left open again, Annie decides Jon must intend for her to read what had kept him so absorbed and off kilter the past year. What she will later entitle “The Words” impacts Annie in ways she could never have imagined, leading her not only to look more kindly and empathetically upon her husband but also to experience an awakening, as well as take charge of Jon’s blog, edit what he has written with his blessing, and have it published as a book. She later reluctantly agrees to append the subtitle, An Autobiography, at the publisher’s request. But they never speak of it other than as simply The Words.
The Words continue the narrative of the future Creator and His Wife. His Wife finds a position at a medical research lab, frustratingly stealing what few hours She can for her research, while impatiently awaiting the freedom to pursue what She will, no matter how far-fetched, foolish, or ill-conceived, without hiding or seeking permission, which She knows She’ll never receive. The future Creator forms a ‘Start Up,’ with seed money from the sale of a patent, producing innovations that will change the world, with the unintended consequence of him becoming the wealthiest man in the world. But wealth was never a goal of its own, having the sole intent of buying His Wife her own lab as He’s promised, and does, freeing Her to pursue The Fountain of Youth, words They would never dare say out loud. And, in their rare free time, they practice Their ‘Favorite Thing’ as often as possible, discover Wigs-And-Things, and Naked-Hide-And-Seek, running through an old Victorian mansion they’ve purchased, before filling it with shaven-headed, legal if barely, teenage geniuses who assist creating all these world changing innovations, and and found having orgies in the attic. And perhaps they do discover The Fountain of Youth, but at what cost?
