Synopsis

Passionate, funny, bittersweet, and most definitely obsessive, When No One's Looking is a story of love and hate in equal measure, a messy and secret affair that spans six countries and five decades. Joey is dying, but no one else knows. Joey reluctantly tells Paula, who's been a close friend since the sixties. They spend snowy days sitting on a cabin deck in Northern New Mexico, teasing and laughing together. The two start planning a Thanksgiving gathering in their small local town of Madrid, New Mexico, to celebrate Joey's life. But Joey has a second woman of importance; Kat and Joey have been on-again/off-again lovers for the last fifty years. A random encounter at a tavern in New Mexico changed Joey's life drastically, as from that first night with Kat, both were addicted. They share an incredibly erotic, yet jealous relationship, full of passion and then betrayal. Even though they fight constantly, they always end up back together every few years. The two first came together in 1967 in Santa Fe, then again during the Civil war in Guatemala, the start of Glasnost in Russia, the eighties in Spain, and in Britain during the late nineties. Theirs is a love that almost kills. Sarah Leamy is a writer, traveler, and vaudeville performer based in New Mexico. She has already written her next book, Random Tales.

About the Author:

Sarah Leamy was the boring little sister who suddenly left her English life and became a broke nomadic wanderer and writer. She finally settled in New Mexico in her late twenties although now she's hit the road once more. As the socially awkward and insecure Brit abroad, she lived first in Europe and then crossed the States and into Guatemala, performing, writing and working odd jobs as she explored new countries alone or with Daisy, her slightly grumpy Border Collie. Since then her stories, poems, essays and articles have been published in the US and UK. Her second novel won Best Fiction in the 2012 New Mexico/ Arizona Book Awards, and was a finalist with her third, Lucky Find. In 2016, she won again with When No One's Looking. In 2017, Van Life was named Grand Winner for the Great Northwest Book Contest. sarahleamy.comdirtroadsanddogs.com
