Somewhere Between is a debut literary fiction novel by David Norman.
Ten million dollars buys a lot of privacy. When AI researcher Alex Chen sells his patent and marries Maya Torres, they disappear onto a 218-acre estate in the Pacific Northwest — no neighbors, no expectations, no one watching. Maya has a plan for the space they’ve bought. Not the house, not the land. The space between who Alex is and who he could become.
What begins with a Halloween experiment unfolds over three and a half years into something neither of them has a name for. The boundaries blur — between his clothes and hers, between guidance and control, between the life they show the world and the one they live behind a locked gate.
