Cure For Pain
Gotta be honest, this makes me a bit twitchy, but here goes…
I wrote a novel which is a finalist in the Tracking Board/Launch Pad Manuscript Competition with Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions and Inkshares. The goal of the competition is to find as-of-yet unpublished books that could be turned into films. All finalists post their submissions (the first 50 pages) on Inkshares.
So… If you want to read the first 50 pages of my unpublished novel, you can totally do that.
Why am I twitchy about this? Because, except for the competition judges and one trusted friend, my novel hasn’t been seen by anyone, even my wife.
Seriously.
Anyway, if you’re curious about the writing process and want to read a basically unvetted draft from a bestselling author, you’re welcome.
Typos and all.

We visited my mom last night at the assisted living facility. She was in the middle of a flower arranging activity, but stopped when she saw us. So Wyatt jumped in with the other residents and started doing his own arrangement.
