The Long Road to Extradetion
I'm a firm believer in grabbing the reader in the first sentence. I think I have managed to do that in this novel. At the very least, I think I will have exposed just enough to lure the reader further into Nicholas's journey.
The journey will be powerful, that is for sure
The time was right as I finally began to recept ideas about a new novel. My Arien instincts is to act FAST and to write quickly...but the writer's instincts are the complete opposite.
So, I have forced myself I progress through the novel, you will meet Nicholas, a precocious yet sensitive teenager who is also the black sheep of the family. He witnesses an horrorific act that tears his family apart. From the time he is 13 years old, he makes his way through the foster system until one day he escapes his life of misery.Through his journey, he meets unforgetable characters along the way who make lasting impressions upon Nicholas which prod him to delve into his bruised emotional issues to make peace with himself. His extensive travels prove that his problems will always be a cumbersome and heavy burden that will sit upon his shoulders until he has his day of reckoning with his emotional baggage.
His journey by foot is a long one, but his journey to made amends is even longer. It is through his journey that he discovers "The Long Road to Extradetion."
