The third and last(?) novel in the trilogy that follows a young boy who survives horrible sexual abuse into young manhood. The books are separate enough that readers don't have to have read the other books to enjoy whichever one they pick up, though. Hoping to have it out summer of '15.

There are a lot of people who say they are a writer because they occasionally write a page or two when the mood strikes them. While one can complete a work that way, real writing is sitting down every day and slogging it out with ideas and words. My best advice is get your butt in the chair and write every day.
I would also say read. I hear people say that they like to write but don't like to read. That is possibly the stupidest thing a human being could ever say. How can you be great if you don't study greatness? to quote the man. If someone said that they want to write symphonies but they don't listen to music, you'd laugh them out the door, and this is no different. If you want to be a good writer, you have to read widely and voraciously.
