Memoirs of a Conflicted Writer: Part 3

This is a true tale about my journey to becoming a published author. Most of the situations are factual, but character names and some speech have been invented.

October 12th 2010

Marvin Amazon answered a question about The Transformation of Adam Higgins: Do I have to read the Light and the Dark before reading this book? Avaminn, No, you don't need to read The Light and the Dark before reading this book. It would help with continuity if you did, but both novels can work as standalone novels, too. Marvin Amazon

Hopeless falls into a genre I simply don't read. As predicted, it started out as a teenage love story, but was actually quite engaging. But then, something happened; the book completely transformed into a tale of dark secrets, unforgivable deeds, and ...more
