WOLFCHILD

About the Book

Two men in a long-term relationship, they commute each weekend from their apartment in the city to their country house.  It’s a good life.  They have good jobs, good friends and two much-loved cats, a bounty of blessings they don’t often consider or question – at least not until one weekend in the country when they encounter a boy from across the way, a strangely-beautiful boy with lupine eyes.  

Thereafter, the two men watch in alarm as their well-constructed lives self-destruct.  Driven by unconscious desires, their lives become a pattern of betrayal and deceit as they each succumb to the temptations of an uncontrollable lust.  

Only when death stalks their door do they realize that their very existence necessitates a series of nocturnal wanderings in an effort to identify and exorcise the wolfchild who haunts their days and nights.

About the Author

M.A. Thompson is a Ph.D. in American Studies who escaped the tentacles of academe, only to fall into the grasp of not one, but two literary agents, neither of whom, in spite of unstinted effort, was able to convince, or coerce, a “traditional” publisher to take a chance on a manuscript about anonymous public sex, illegal drugs, a lupine boy, and two men living with two cats. Consequently, subsequent manuscripts by Thompson have focused on sugar daddies and rent boys, lifeguards of color, and backstage adultery on Broadway – all of which might soon find their way to Xlibris.
