a coming of age novel for twentysomethings...

hey kids! do you like coming of age novels...about adults? 

my novel, True Rock, is currently available on AO3 for your reading pleasure.

I’ve posted Chapters 1-12 so far and updating with a new chapter every weds. 

here’s what the story is about: 

Heather Fellaway never got to be a kid. Matthew Yin never got over his childhood. Tom Beckett never grew up.

Now, in their mid-twenties, Heather, Matthew and Tom lead not-so-satisfying adult lives as teachers (and friends) at Alameda Senior High School. That is, until Tom hatches the so-ridiculous-it-might-just-be-brilliant idea of starting a rock band.

But there's a catch: none of them know how to be rock stars...or even musicians for that matter. And a blossoming love triangle between Tom, Heather and the Perfect Guy (TM) threatens to derail their musical dreams altogether.

With themes of multicultural identity, overcoming the past and an enduring love for the music of Queen & Shakira (forever), True Rock is a heartfelt coming of age story for grown-ups...with a rock and roll twist.

so do ya girl a solid and take a read! maybe even like and follow and stuff if you’re so inclined. go on! ;)

Hey Quantum Leap fandom who wants to join me in crying thinking about Tom Beckett returning from Vietnam alive and then years down the line having his kid brother go missing while working on some top secret project and years go by and someone finally lets it slip that Sam was experimenting with time travel and Tom remembers how vehement Sam was about him not going to Vietnam because he was going to die on April the 8th 1970 and Tom slowly realizing his brother had saved his life?

This was an early pencil test for Spies In Disguise before we cast Tom Holland, visualizing how well his design worked with the voice. I kinda' liked the funky hairdo of the old design, especially in profile.
