In Are You Lonesome Tonight? Mishka Shubaly tells how he became deeply infatuated with Johna Chase. She was a fan of his band who was following him on Twitter. Her profile photo was appealing. He was single. He sent her a message. They began flirting online. The account begins and proceeds as any online dating story might. But then, once Shubaly's hope is twinborn with love, there's a wrinkle, and then a twist-and the relationship unfolds into something so mind-blowing, so staggeringly inconceivable that it charts new territory in emotional entanglement. In this Kindle Single, deep intrigue combines with fluid and nuanced prose to tell an astonishing story.

This is my first time reading the author.
I thought Are You Lonesome Tonight? was great. I wasn't sure what to expect. I assumed it was a combination of a love story / relationship drama. This short little tale is much darker than I expected, with a twist that truly stunned me.
This kindle single is well-written, entertaining and engaging. I could have read hundreds more pages about the complex characters.
