The Animators: A Novel

"Filmmakers and animators Sharon Kisses and Mel Vaught are creative partners, best friends and platonic soulmates. Hot off a well-received indie film, they visit Sharon’s Kentucky hometown to work on an ambitious new project based on Sharon’s childhood trauma. (To reveal more than that would spoil it.) The novel made me rethink the benefits and consequences of marrying your creative work and your personal life and who you hurt when you turn shared pain into art."
