A lot to love here. It was very Sweet Valley High and I mean that in the most endearing way! It was a favorite series of mine from back in the day. I’m always so curious about the west coast and Hawaii, especially being all doomy gloomy East Coast. The picture formed in my mind was fantastic and well Buzzy just hits! I’m a mother who absolutely adores that tall blonde hair boy of mine. He calls me bruh by the way. Love it all John
The part where Jake is thinking about his mom got me of course. The transition of his memories, and getting into his car, the neighborhood and the Christmas lights details is so good too
Writing this novel came out of the rage I mentioned in the other post. It was me trying to process the anger and sadness after uncovering some things in my childhood. So, I wrote this as a way to spin it in a positive. 😊

Ah, thanks, Kristin! 🙌🏼😁
This is me dealing with my difficult childhood and my relationships on paper. This was a labor of love (and frustration).
I'm almost done with the sequel to this novel!
For me, I think I was writing it from a Hardy Boys point of view (there's even a reference to that later in the book... Lol).
It’s cool how your voice comes off so much younger. Especially having read your other pieces and you’re not immature in any way. It’s impressive
Oh, thanks!
(though, the wife might disagree.... Lol)
And I will admit, it goes sideways eventually.... And multiple stories start to take place. 😬

Oh, there's some emotional scenes coming up (I read them and they bring tears to my eyes..).
Thanks, Jane! Truly. 🙏🏼
I'm glad it's evoking some emotions... I was hoping!
Makes me feel better about my 4th novel (cause as much as love my Jake Jansen stuff, I think my Blade Carter stuff is even better.)
I'm looking forward to reading!
This hurts. A lot.

It’s powerful. Seriously good.
Thank you! 🙏🏼😊
