It’s so hard for me to believe that I’ve made one of my life long dreams come true. I finished my first novel. It’s been a long time coming, and tons of hard work and perseverance went into making Just Like Heaven.
Over time, the characters of Noah and Josh have become like my children and sometimes my best friends. I love all of my characters deeply and hope that you enjoy their heartbreaks, laughter, pain, and joy as much as I have.
The focus of this book was to examine modern love in the 21st century and how the patterns of dating and relationships have changed drastically over time. It is my intention to follow the lives and loves of this small group of friends through their trials and tribulations. Each coupling will have their own specific challenge dealing with societal norms and how they push past boundaries.
The story begins with the meeting of my favorite same-sex couple Noah and Josh. It was a complete treat to write for these two characters. I love how they engage and enrage each other. It makes for a dramatic, hilarious and heartfelt coupling.
As we grow to learn about their characters, we are brought into the world of their friends Gemma, Ash, Olive, Sarita, and Kai. It is my goal to build a world around these characters and have the audience cheer them along as they conquer each phase in the world of “adulting.”
Noah and Josh’s story will wrap up in a short novella after Just Like Heaven and introduce the next couple my story will focus on.
Again, thank you for sticking with me on this journey and I hope to provide more adventures from my favorite “YA Squad.”
