Polished - Paperback

by Erica Chilson (Author)

When you're a divorce lawyer, nothing is more terrifying than marital problems, especially when they involve your husband thinking the ability to mind-read translates into unconditional love. Daniel Bishop calls his old roommate for help- Kaden Marx loves nothing more than running to someone's rescue after a decade of always being the one in distress. Neither guy realizes their husbands have been conspiring for months- Uriah Crane has already confided in Wynn Gillette, and then some. After being lied to his entire life, Wynn will never allow his nearest and dearest to lie to one another or to themselves. Determined, this time, the truths that need to be revealed match up with fantasies Wynn hungers to live out in reality. Dan's at his wits' end. Uriah is lost. Kade is in denial. Wynn is in charge. Rusty Knob visits Pittsburgh in the present, but Polished revisits another Pennsylvania town, in another era- State College, back to where all the secrets and lies began for Dan, Kade, and Uriah at Penn State University.

Author Biography

Erica Chilson does not write in the 3rd person, wanting her readers to be her characters. Therefore, writing a bio about herself, is uncomfortable in the extreme. Born, raised, and here to stay, the Wicked Writer is a stump-jumper, a ridge-runner. Hailing from North Central Pennsylvania, directly on the New York State border; she loves the changes in seasons, the humid air, all the mountainous forest, and the gloomy atmosphere. Introverted, but not socially awkward, Erica prides herself on thinking first and filtering her speech. There are days she doesn't speak at all. If it wasn't for the fact that she lives with her parents, giving her a sense of reality, she would be a hermit, where the delivery man finds her months after expiration. Reading was an escape, a way to leave a not-so pleasant reality behind. Reading lent Erica the courage she gathered from the characters between the pages to long for a different life. Writing was an instrument of change, evolving Erica into the woman she is today- a better, more mature, more at peace thinker. Erica has a wicked mind, one she pours out into her creations. Her filter doesn't allow all of it to erupt, much to her relief. Sarcastic, with a very dark, perverse sense of humor, Erica puts a bit of herself into every character she writes.
