Happy birthday, Kevy Kev! As a “gift” to you, I’m posting the first chapter of my very first solely-Kevin-centered novel, The World Will Be Waiting.
Synopsis:
Four years after the tragic accident that changed his life forever, Kevin tries to keep moving forward… by going back.
This is, of course, the sequel to my latest novel, My Brother’s Keeper. While I would recommend you reading that one first, it’s not absolutely required. The sequel starts a few years after its predecessor, and I provide enough back story that you can get the gist of what happened in the first story without reading the whole thing… but I hope it will make you want to if you haven’t already!
For those of you who did read MBK, I hope you’ll enjoy reading the continuation of Kevin’s story. So far, the tone of this sequel is completely different from the first one. It’s a lot less angsty and more light-hearted, which has been refreshing for me to write. Don’t worry, angst-lovers – there will still be drama down the road, of course. There will be also be romance, which is a genre I haven’t written in a while. There will be bromance as well, but Nick is not going to be as much of a main character as he was in MBK. Sorry, Nick girls – he and the other Boys will still play prominent roles in the story, but it’s going to be told solely from Kevin’s point of view. If you’d asked me a decade ago if I thought I would ever write a Kevin novel, I would have said it was possible but not probable. Well, here I am, writing a Kevin romance novel, of all the crazy things, and I’m loving it! I literally started this story the day after finishing MBK and have written every day since, which puts my writing streak at 255 days. I’m over 60,000 words and thirteen chapters in already, so you can expect regular updates at least through the rest of the year. I’m not sure yet if I’ll stick with Mondays as my update day or go back to Saturday updates, but I thought Kevin’s birthday would be a good day to post Chapter 1. I hope you enjoy it!
