The Art of Drowning

(2026)
A novel by

 
 
Once upon a summer, Callum Weeks rescued his brother's best friend and things were never the same.

Damien Flynn was a little bit younger and a lot more popular. He was also the constant companion of Callum’s brother, Sam. From a neglectful home, Damien was a constant fixture at the Weeks's house, often hanging out poolside whether Sam was there or not.

The two boys get in over their heads, literally, when Callum saves Damien from near drowning. The course of their relationship was changed forever, but neither of them expected things to get so serious. Sam was possessive by nature and his best friend should have been off-limits, but that was not enough to keep Callum away. The love that grew between Damien and Callum was also not enough to keep Sam from eventually tearing them apart.

Hell hath no fury like a teenage boy scorned.

One summer day, Callum taught Damien how to swim, and without Callum, Damien has spent his life mastering the art of drowning. He moved away and moved on. He built a life, found a new best friend, a pet rock. Things are good. But Sam dies and turns Damien's life upside down for the second time. Without a good reason to be apart, Callum and Damien are brought back together for the first time in years.

Time can heal many wounds, but history repeats itself. Sam is not done interfering with the lives of the people around him and the secrets that he's left behind threaten to drown everyone who loved him.
