Development Pitch
At a time when masculinity is seeking new roots and women are rising to personal and professional heights, when #metoo signals that toxic males are finished, forever bachelor Manny Monte Tanner believes this is the time for his style to blossom. Unfortunately, Manny is an expert at failed love. It’s not that his heart isn’t in the right place. And, it’s not that love isn’t in the cards. Elaine is a free spirit chasing her dreams. And when Jude strums back into his life, a decades old fire reignites. Things get complicated. Set in Victoria, B.C., Canada the characters are engaged in sometimes desperate struggles that are a reflection of contemporary society. The novel’s distinction lies in the notion that a desperately romantic bachelor has something to offer the relationships between women and men. Quirky, compelling, and charming, Across The Divide provides a unique view of the many issues that have so often troubled women and men.
