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
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!
