First Novel is Written

I began toying with the idea of this book when I was 19, in 1989. I only know that because I recently found a scrap of paper in my notebook from that age. It was to be some great analogy of life, or something. I was young, and didn't have the full idea yet. Time passed, and so did the idea. By the time I had context to what I wanted to say, I was stuck in the middle of a bad marriage. My first wife, I married when I was 23, and I was far too young for that. It did not work out well. I had written most of another novel by then, and when I moved out, I stumbled over my notes for this book, previously known as Apple Jack. Time has taken its toll on my free time. I should have stayed in college
