Askwritefish is my home website.  The following is a press synopsis of my novel Where the River Splits and my current "author's bio."

When award-winning author Jeffrey Penn May sends St. Louis couple, David and Susan Brooks, on a canoe trip in the Canadian wilderness, it’s a last ditch effort to evaluate their marriage. The trip turns into disaster as their canoe capsizes leaving the couple stranded on opposite sides of the river, each believing the other is dead. David soon discovers that his wife survived, but satisfied that she is okay, decides not to reveal himself to her. While Susan returns to St. Louis to cope with the loss of her husband, David begins his new life in the Wyoming mountains. But can anyone really start over?
