Joe
Leonard has problems. His writing has cost him
his
marriage; his job selling insurance is costing him his sanity. Looking for
a sinecure to support his literary efforts, Joe decides to write romance
novels. To better his chances of getting published, he, under the
pseudonym Fiona Pilgrim, writes to June Featherstone, the doyenne of
romance novelists, to enlist her support and guidance. Through an exchange
of letters, June mentors Fiona. By the concluding chapter of Fiona's
novel, Tempestuous Summer—The Hottest Season, the two
correspondents
have
grown to admire and respect each other. Friendship has blossomed. However,
unless he expeditiously does away with Fiona, Joe will soon be exposed as
the fraud he is, and his chances for publication—but more
importantly
his
chances for love—will be forever lost. Joe Leonard has problems.
