Man and woman meet. Fall in love. Finding little information and support when her husband dropped his bombshell, Rogak made the dissemination of information concerning the straight-spouse dilemma her cause.
Pretzel Logic is one outgrowth of that cause.
In this story's pages, we meet Emily Spencer. She's a cynical, cocky young newspaper reporter in small-town New Hampshire, defenses high against anyone getting too close. When she runs into Michael Rogers, sales director for a rival paper, her initial reaction to his overtures is bristly. Although sex clearly is not at the core of their relationship, the two continue to grow closer. Emily's co-workers notice a change for the better in the heretofore prickly reporter, and she senses it in herself.
