Half of Us - Book One
Secrets don’t stay buried.
A rising politician is pulled deeper into ambition, identity, and consequence as his past begins to resurface. Nearby, his son struggles to build an identity that is not defined by his father’s shadow. Their lives intersect with three women, each carrying desires, addictions, and hidden truths. As control begins to slip, the question remains, is redemption still within reach?
Half of Us is a character-driven debut trilogy. Book One explores memory, addiction, perspective, and the fragile line between who we are and who we pretend to be.
Available in paperback and eBook through major retailers, independent bookstores, and participating library platforms worldwide.
New Release
Half of Us, Book One: The Author’s Notes
Arkeym N. Young takes readers directly inside the decisions behind Half of Us, Book One: why Clark is the way he is, why a couple of the sex scenes are more explicit rather than muted, and the case for defending the women of Half of Us on their own complicated terms.
The Author's Notes is a companion piece, not a sequel. With over 100 pages of extra content, it includes chapter-by-chapter analyses of craft and structure. Plus, one chapter that was cut from the original manuscript, the previously unreleased Tina chapter, published here for the first time. Best read after finishing Book One.
Available in eBook through major retailers and participating library platforms worldwide.
