AT THE PLACE BETWEEN is a contemporary novel: Part love story; part murder mystery; part courtroom drama - all set in and around the waters off Cape Cod and Block Island.
Sailor Lincoln is an architect living on his 44 foot sloop Sirius due to his separation from his wife Penelope, whom he suspects is probably having an affair. His newest clients, Tom and Juliet (Jules) Manchester have a beautiful property in Eastham overlooking the Nauset Bay Marshes.
His working relationship with this couple soon turns into a close friendship. Disturbingly for Sailor, he finds himself unusually attracted to Jules who seems to feel the same way about him. They both struggle to fight off temptation as the design and construction of 'Nauset House' proceeds from embryo to finished construction.
Sailor's relationships with his wife Penelope, his client Jules and Jules's best friend Sophia lead to entanglements and complications with unforeseen and dire consequences.
You'll find yourself engrossed in Sailor's travails as his life takes a tack into turbulent seas he could never have foreseen. Besieged by a series of inexplicable events and accused of a murder he did not commit, Sailor's life is escalating out of control. He is rocked by the prospect of a trial that could well condemn him to a life in prison.

Steve Shuman is a retired licensed architect living on Cape Cod. He received his professional degree from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA where he earned a Bachelor of Architecture. He did his internship in the Washington, DC area, and upon earning his license, he set off on his own and founded Akro Associates Architects. After ten years of practice in DC, he moved the firm to Cape Cod to be near the ocean and enjoy his passion for sailing.
He has designed numerous building types throughout his career, including senior centers, commercial buildings, multi-family dwellings, and custom single-family residences. Together with his wife Kathleen, he designed and built their home on Long Pond in Marstons Mills on Cape Cod.
He spent many years cruising the waters in and around Cape Cod and the islands, and sailed his thirty-eight-foot sloop on numerous trips to the Elizabeth Islands; Cape Cod Bay; Buzzards Bay; Narragansett Sound; Long Island, NY, and Block Island, RI. Having experienced all these places from land and sea, he became eager to see them from the air, and so he learned to fly and earned a private pilot license.
He had always had a passion for writing but never seemed to have the time for it until retirement. This book, AT THE PLACE BETWEEN, is the result of that aspiration.
