Keeping the Same Time

by R.J. White

Death and Dad Rock.

Jay's life didn't peak in high school or college. It didn't peak in sales jobs. It didn't even peak with his band, The Forest, twenty years ago.

He never saw the peak of his life while it was happening—his family, his friends, his music, his whole world.

Now that he knows when his life will end, he’s finally seeing everything clearly.

Legacy, connection, and second chances keep Jay going as he faces the choices he made, the memories he leaves behind, and the lives he affected—especially those who somehow loved him.

About the author

For being a writer, you'd think I could write a decent biography. I can't.

My books reflect me. Sarcasm, music, a goal of understanding, an expectation of fairness in the world that always seems out of reach.

This will be a journey as I learn more about self-publishing, writing, and marketing myself. Its fun, it's incredibly challenging, and it's rewarding to see my own improvements.

I'm saving my best stories for further along the learning curve, thank you for your interest in my journey and your support.
