A Good Liar

I'm excited to be working on a new project and hope to have to new story completed by early 2027.

A Good Liar is the deep exploration of what a father is willing to sacrifice for his son. A very raw and emotional journey of a man who is wading through the webs around him and what it means to be a good man, but a better father.

Quotes by C.L. Jackson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“My addiction, coupled with apathy, felt like an unstoppable force that was devouring me with an insatiable appetite. For reassurance, I began lying to myself. I was still in control, and my life wasn't a ship on a collision course with disaster. That lie helped me retain a sense of calm.”
― C.L. Jackson, Through His Eyes and Lies: a pathological Liar's Tale

“I looked at the mirror and remembered the previous night was not a bad dream. I could hardly see out of my left eye because it was swollen shut like a Rocky movie. My nose was broken, and I could tell by its engorged size and the dark-blue line that stretched across its bridge. It hurt to open my mouth, but I wanted to make sure all my teeth were still there. They were, but they were covered with dried blood.”
― C.L. Jackson, Through His Eyes and Lies: a pathological Liar's Tale

“As I walked from room to room, I received well wishes and good lucks from people I hardly knew. I imagined it was how politicians felt when they glued smiles to their faces and worked a room, shaking hands with strangers, but instead of kissing babies, I was taking shots.”
― C.L. Jackson, Through His Eyes and Lies: a pathological Liar's Tale

“After what seemed like an arduous journey, I found myself in front of the porcelain altar and prepared to pray. I dropped to my knees with my head placed over the white toilet and gently lifted the lid. I saw my reflection in the water and glanced at it for a moment. I noticed how pale my face looked, and I thought I was staring at a ghost. I wanted to scare him away, but when I opened my mouth to chastise him for morphing into a horrible wretch, no words escaped from my lips.”
