Cold Rock
Work of fiction to be released early summer
Sometimes, the events in our lives hurt us so much that we lose our way. We forget the importance of love and relationships, and we can't seem to find the path or the person to help us get back on track. Dylan Travers gave up on love after a car accident killed a good friend, and he vowed to never love again. On a trip to Boston, though, Dylan is given one more chance to rediscover love -- an opportunity that he faces in what might be the last minutes of his life. My book, Cold Rock, explores the will of the human spirit to believe in love, even in the darkest hours of our lives. Cold Rock will be published by Ravenwater early this summer. Launch date and location to be announced soon.
