The Long Road Ahead Blurb

 

Here's a blurb from my upcoming novella, The Long Road Ahead. I'll launch the Cover Reveal sometime next week as a New Years Gift, so take a lookout. In the meantime, I present to you, The Long Road Ahead:

When your eyes meet, that's not love at first sight. It's when you can't bring yourself to look away, for you've captured the loving soul embodied through their eyes. 

Javon Norton, fresh off from his hometown in Linclon, Ohio, attends his first year at The Toronto State University. With a major in Visual Arts and a $10,000 scholarship under his belt, Javon plans to achieve his goal of becoming a comic book artist. But there's one slight issue...The scholarship is not quite ready. To prepare for the full grant, Javon must register for a scholarship program. 

As he enters the doors of Mr. Harrison's Art History class, a certain someone catches his eye...

Photography Student Mick Richardson is looking for a purpose in life. Thirsting for a sense of adventure, he applies for the 10,000-scholarship grant to explore the island of Oahu, Hawaii, his birthplace. To elevate his mind’s eye, Mick wants to discover the hidden beauty of his homeland and capture the glistening waves of the faraway ocean as a photo kept in his memory.

Coincidently, Javon and Mick are at the top of the scholarship list, matching them into a tie. To break it even, Mr. Harrison puts them up to task. In order to receive the 10,000-scholarship grant, they must each come up with an original project by the end of the week.

As a friendly gesture, Mick invites Javon to a weekend getaway across central Canada to ease the tension between them. Javon is skeptical but seeing that this is an offer he can't refuse, he accepts.

What starts as a mild curiosity soon develops into something more…

Now, Javon is caught in a friction, embracing the tenderness of Mick’s affections while holding on to what he’s worked so hard for.

Which begs the question: Is love more valuable than success?

I know I'm a little late on this but I would like to pay tribute to the one and only Anne Rice. Through her writing, she is one of those writers that taught me to be a better writer and to give her the utmost gratitude I present to you my review of her best work of fiction

Rest In Peace, Anne Rice:
