✰ Author Guest Post ✰ Niquel

 Kumiko Lei     Author Guest Post, Goodbye With Love, Niquel     No comments   



When I originally planned this book, I had every intention of making it a mainly New Adult Novel. I only wanted to write about twenty percent of their childhood and then bring them into adulthood. But, as I started writing the story, the teenage Mickey and Johnny decided they had a lot to say and I loved the way the story took a turn. Sometimes you have a decent plan in your head, but then you fall in love with the voices in there and let them run their course. This novel is a genuine friends-to-lovers story that is guaranteed to make you feel. I was going through a few things when this book came to me, so all the emotion in it is raw and real. Anytime I was mad or upset, I wrote and I think it made the book more believable that way.

I went through about ten different stock photos before I decided to hire real models and a photographer to create what I envisioned, Mickey and Johnny to look like as adults. Lindee Robinson nailed it! I had so many pictures, that I almost bought them all just so no others could have them! Check her out! https://www.facebook.com/LindeeRobinsonPhotography/

Most of this story is told from a Young Adult perspective and this was a huge change for me. My other three novels; A Forbidden Love, An Endless Love, and The CEO are all some variation of erotic romance or suspense. So when I decided to write this, it was completely out of my comfort zone, and it ended up being the longest novel I’d ever written.

This story literally came out of nowhere. I never had a book just come out of me like this. And as I started before, I normally have a plan even if I end up flying by the seat of my pants writing the entire book. The diary entries were the first thing I thought about because let’s face it, we all were twelve once and I’m pretty sure we had to vent somewhere private. Am I right? I know I did!

I’m so happy that I wrote it and got it out in the world. I had a few people tell me I made them fall in love with an eighth grader and that let me know I did my job as a writer! Thank you to everyone that has enjoyed my babies!


Synopsis:

Michelle

Have you ever wished you could have something so bad, even though you knew it was forbidden?
Jonathan Gates was just that—forbidden. He was everything I could ever want in a man: charming, a great listener, open-minded, and funny. It also didn't hurt that he was easy on the eyes.

We'd been through a lot together: breakups, makeups, firsts, lasts, and anything else you can imagine. I was once told he was my soul mate, but I refused to believe that.
I didn't want to love him.
I didn't want to fall for him because...he was my best friend!

But I did, and I fell for him hard. I was in love with my best friend, and it was time he knew how I really felt.


Excerpt:

MICKEY ROSE’S DIARY
Age: Thirteen
Diary Entry: Life sucks. Life is cruel.

Dear Diary,

Why is it that every time I have something good going for me it gets taken away? I was healthy without any issues at all and then boom—cancer. I found a guy willing to spend time with me because he wanted to, then I fall for him and boom—he’s gone. I feel horrible about his uncle, but what about me? How am I supposed to go on? What if he gets down there and only sends me one pity letter, falls for some hot girl there, and completely forgets about me? I don’t think my heart can take this kind of pain, not from Johnny.

I feel like all the air is being pushed out of my lungs and now I’m stuck gasping for air, wanting him to come back.

I love you too Johnny, I just wish I’d said it sooner. Please don’t forget about me.


-Sad, lonely Mickey


Available now on Amazon!


I am also currently working on a rock star series. The first book will be about a guy named CJ and he’s going to take the world by storm! Stay tuned!

Thank you for reading!
