Things I Never Told My Wife

True confessions of a Shakespearean player

“These vignettes are just plain fun to read. Thanks!”

I met my soulmate when I was sixteen.
Of course, I never told my wife about that.

Actor, director, and admitted cad, Terry Reichert has led a life filled with colorful—and beautiful—women. From his deflowering while skinny dipping to holding the love of his life as she died, from actresses to students, from stage crew to strangers—Terry never met a woman he wasn’t interested in taking to another level.

And during all this, he is a respected professor, industry professional, husband, and father who could honestly say, “I never went looking.”

“Don’t tell me you are going to use the tired old excuse that ‘she made you do it’,” said Claire.
“No! Don’t be silly. No one made me do anything. She just made it easy to do,” I answered.

Welcome to the world of things Terry never told his wife.

How can you tell that this is an "aroslav" [Devon Layne] story?

- It's really, really well written
- Its technical quality is impeccable
- The characters are interesting and credible
- The story is set in a world that is plausible
- There are sex scenes, but they don't dominate the story
- The characters develop and grow over time
- It's written about an area of the arts that teaches something as you read it

Clearly, [Layne] has personal experience in this realm of the arts, and that makes this story even more interesting to read.
