My First Fiction Novel
If you've read any of my writings in the past, you know that I mostly write opinion and commentary pieces, as well as some journalistic reporting. Last November I branched out and tried my hand at fiction. The result is my first, in print, self-published, novel, Giving Up. Here's the synopsis:
"Carter Owen was on top of the world. The successful owner of Nelius Incorporated, with a home in the prestigious Garden Hills, Carter and his family had little to worry about. An abandoned factory, a once famous professor, and an ancient philosophy book turns their world upside down. With their values and the world as they know it in question, the Owen family stands on the brink of doing something they never thought possible…giving up."
