Starting Notes

It’s been a while, but I’m back!

One day in February, after having a run of writer's block, I was in the car with my little family jamming away to one of my favourite songs, Fast Car by Tracy Chapman and I thought ‘I could make a story out of this’ and that’s exactly what I’ve done.

The story does have adult themes, there are some triggers - alcoholism, mild DV, minor violence, death, but I hope I’ve handled it in a way that makes it easy to read!

Thank you so much for sticking by me while I suffered through my writers block, it all runs so much deeper than that, of course, a major lifestyle change, a major physical change, and a major mental change, but I’m back to (somewhat) normal - what’s normal any way, right?

I’m hoping to upload Mon-Thurs. There are 29 chapters in this book.

As always, please comment, vote, and share! It really does mean the world to me, and helps authors to be seen!

I love you all!
