Writing. I love the daze I go into when I'm writing and how the hours just fly by. A new idea is better than a Christmas present.

Description:
"Perfect Score" is set in mid West USA in the 1960s and is a story about family relationships, corruption, growing up, integrity, responsibility, and being a man of worth in a society of the worthless.
The two main characters are Alex and Sam. Alex, who lives with a wealthy uncle, is a blend of musical genius, stubbornness and firmly believes in his fantasy that his love for Sam is reciprocated. Sam has more direction in his little finger than Alex has in his whole body. He’s strong, yet of small stature and has developed a tough outer-coating after the knocks of a traumatic up-bringing which left him homeless. His one aim in life is to earn enough money to look after his disabled sister. He has no time for a spoiled, rich, guitar player. Sam also stutters and has what is probably a severe form of dyslexia.
When Sam unexpectedly disappears, Alex begins a somewhat bungling quest to find him, only to discover that Sam has a fearsome enemy: Alex's powerful and influential yet sociopathic uncle.
As Alex spirals downwards towards alcoholism, many questions need answering. Just why did Alex's evil uncle adopt him at age eleven yet deny him any affection? And what's the mystery behind Alex's father's death?
Both seem to face unbeatable odds. Are they doomed to follow separate paths forever?

Loved this book. Very engaging and original characters. Lots of warmth, animals, bees and some daunting and credible villains. Highly recommended! " |

The story grips and retains one's interest. It feels utterly plausible. The way it unfolds is extremely well managed, and I was eager to read on to find out what was to happen next. In all a very good read.." |

The publisher hasn't put it on Amazon yet (it's on Mobiphone) but it's cheaper on the publisher's website: www.awe-struck.net (Perfect Score by Susan Roebuck).
Tell me if you have problems.
