DAPHNE
I need a penis,” Daphne said.
On her laptop screen, she watched Nia’s chopsticks clatter to the café
table a thousand miles away. “Yes! I have been waiting for this day!” Nia
snatched up her phone and jabbed the screen. “I’ve been thinking Plenty of
Fish or—”
“I’m not talking about dating.”
Nia stared, and then burst out laughing. “Well, okay then. Ms. I-don’tdo-casual-sex has finally been in the wilderness too long.”

“None of that,” Daphne said. Although, to be perfectly honest… No,
none of that. Sadly. She leaned back in her patio chair on the deck of her
Yukon home. She was “having lunch” with Nia, who was in Vancouver.
Daphne got Nia’s autumn scenery—the busy city patio, with its bustling
street and sidewalk—and Nia got hers, with its lake and forest and snowcapped mountains.
Daphne continued, “Remember that article about an author who
submitted her book under a man’s name?”
“And got five times the responses than she had under her own. You’re
thinking you could sell Winter’s Sleep easier if you were a man. I know it
can feel that way, but…”
“I did sell it.”
Nia bolted upright. “What?”
“I’d gotten another rejection, and I drank some wine and remembered
the article and said, ‘Screw it. Let’s try that.’ So I tweaked a few things in
my cover letter—more survivalism, more zombies, less romance.”
“What? Tell me you didn’t get rid of the romance.”
“Not in the book. Just in the description. I pasted in the new cover letter,
attached the manuscript, and hit Send.”
“I thought you were only supposed to send the full manuscript if they
asked for it.”
“I figured if I was going to be a man, I didn’t need to follow the rules.”
“And it worked?” Nia snorted. “I’m not sure whether to laugh or
dissolve into a puddle of weeping despair. So you got an agent who thought
you were a guy. What’d they say when you told them the truth?”
Silence.
Nia’s eyes bugged. “They still think you’re a guy? You’ve talked,
right?”
“I told him I live off the grid in the Canadian wilderness and don’t have
cell service. I expected he’d want me to get my ass into cell range so we can
talk, but apparently, you don’t tell guys like Zane Remington to do that. You
accommodate the quirks of their literary genius.”
“Zane Remington?”
“I was drunk.”
“So your agent thinks you’re a dude named Zane Remington?”
“Who lives in a house he built himself, from trees he felled himself.
Zane hunts and fishes and is completely self-sufficient up here. Like Theo
is, in the book. Except without the zombies. Oh, and Zane has an MFA
degree.”
“Of course he does. So you got an agent who sold Winter’s Sleep to a
publisher. What happens when that publisher goes to look up this Zane on
social media? Have him sign a contract? Deposit a check with his totally
fake name?”
