BLURB:
Sean
Johnson’s life as a small-town farmhand has been nothing but predictable, but
when he meets Sophia Hillingdon at the local animal sanctuary, she gets him out
of an eighteen-year rut, away from the mundane existence on the farm, and a
grieving, drunken father.
Sophia is
the first person who understands him and makes him believe that he might get
out of their small town, who tells him, he has the potential to be whoever he
wants to be and do whatever he wants to do.
But as
their relationship unfolds, it is the most devastating of news that will change
both of them forever.

EXCERPT
Her face was nearer than it had ever been. Her skin
felt smooth and warm. All I could do was lean further into her, losing myself
in the moment. And then there were her piercing blue eyes-even more
extraordinary up close. Before I knew it, I’d brought my hands to her chest as
our parting lips collided. We kissed for hours, inhabiting each other with such
force as our bodies rolled across the cooled grass. She was the change I had
been searching for. It was the first time I realized; I could be anywhere in
the world, but nowhere without her.

INTERVIEW With Hugh Driscoll
Have you ever had an
imaginary friend?
I haven’t! I’m probably too impatient to entertain the idea
of one.
Do you have any
phobias?
Rats. Their pink tails are the stuff of nightmares. And
that’s coming from an animal lover!
Do you listen to
music when you're writing?
I prefer writing with little distraction so music can putt
me off my train of thought, but emotive music can help when writing a scene
requiring a healthy dose of pathos.
Do you ever read your
stories out loud?
To myself? Yes. You can detect more errors and inconsistencies
with the writing that way. Microsoft Word used to have this great built-in
voice reader, but I can’t seem to find it on their latest edition!
As for reading in front of other people, that’s never been a
prospect that’s appealed to me if I’m honest. I’m not an actor, I’m a writer
and I feel I’d be doing readers a disservice if they were to hear me stutter my
way through a passage!
Tell us about your
main character and who inspired him/her.
Sean Johnson is a good-natured individual who hasn’t been
dealt a good pair of cards in life. He’s long felt alone with his problems and
has never felt comfortable turning to anyone for help. And there are so many
people like that in life- regardless of how many friends they do or don’t have.
I know I certainly felt like that for a period in my teens, but when you meet
someone you’re romantically interested in, it can change your life and be the
change you’d been searching for without ever realizing
it.
