Corrine,

First of all, I need to thank you. It means a lot to me when people write to me like this. I enjoy the engagement. Writing books is one thing, but meeting the people that read them is a much better thing, and I love getting to know my readers. That is what it's all about, connecting with people on a level that only "story" permits. Thanks for the encouragment.

As far as answering your question, I wrote this book out of a deep and personal conflict that I wrestled with internally for many years. Some people know that I lost a spouse in 2008. We were young and she died in her twenties. In my recovery from losing her, one of the greatest struggles that weighed on my shoulders was the great question of "should I love again?" Being young, so many expected it of me. Others, expected the opposite. It was a lot of pressure on me as a man. I felt tossed in the ocean of a no-win situation, one that beat me up and churned me about. Should I love again? Would it be honorable? Would it be respectful? Would it be healthy for me?

Looking back, I want to help those who are in a similar boat. There really is no right or wrong answer. What works for one person is not the right answer for another. I wanted people to see that in that position, they should be free to choose and choose well. Without spoiling the novel, Alan and Brandon chose different paths yet each was the perfect path to take.

They both chased their dreams and lovers in different ways. A freedom everyone should own to themselves.

So glad you are enjoying the novel.

I am currently reading my next novel, just doing one more read over before I send it for editing. It is a fiction novel that will be coming out hopefully January of 2021. They always say an author should write the kind of book that he or she would want to read- this is definitely a book designed for my liking. I love to sail, I love the rocky shoreline of the state of Maine, and I love books that inspire readers to think deeply, ones that challenge people to get outside of their head and really take inventory of things. This new novel does exactly that, and it is so enjoyable for me personally that I've already read it four times. lol.(less)

“Sometimes we overcomplicate things when it comes to identity. We think that maybe we need to get our jobs, our callings, our relationships, or our life’s work perfect in order for them to have meaning. We think maybe when we get everything lined up and polished to perfection, then we will have a secure sense of self. But Christ’s truth is pretty simple: We’re all human, and we all need a Savior. If we’ll accept Him as ours, then we’ll receive identity rather than coming up empty as we try to build identity for ourselves.”
