That is me in October 2001 at a special
place I have written about a few times, Patton's Run on the Nantahala
River in North Carolina.
As of this morning's edit, it appears this novel should be finished and out by late June barring any major life
interruptions or unforeseen developments. The word count currently
sits at 112,000 words which would be by far my longest book. The cuts
have already been deep and I want to bring this book in at around
100,000 to 105,000 words max.
This is the end, spanning from 1995 to 2005. It contains all of the answers
that I can ever provide about everything I have written about my family and life. I hope readers find it engaging, fun, mysterious, surprising, not too depressing and different. I have been open how I struggled with a period of serious depression to write this. There are some seriously ugly, shocking and sad moments in it, but humor finds its way through. The last chapter, Silent Bridges, fits this lifelong project.
Farewell to Robin, Oliver, Elliot, all of the characters from all of the books, the past and may they rest in my new written time capsule. This book is for Everett, Louisville,
Paulding County, Baby X and all of the other hidden children.
Thank you for reading.
