Confession time: I have a lot of unfinished and nearly complete WIPs on my computer. Some of them are stories that didn't feel right. Others are stories that needed more time to germinate.

Near Enough to Hold is one of those stories that needed more time. When I first began writing it, I was going through too many things at once--my grandfather was terminally ill, there was a lot of family drama going on around me and things were NOT great at my day job. As much as I loved writing about Nick and Keisha, I couldn't focus. And the story seemed to fast forward and then zig-zag... well, you know what I mean.

Then three things happened in one week: Philadelphia was hit by an earthquake, a hurricane blew through and my grandfather died on the eve of said hurricane. It threw me for a loop. well, you know what I mean. I had to step away from it.

For months now, the story has been popping up in my mind, reminding me to go back, take care of Nick and Keisha and give them an ending. So that's what I am doing.

Near Enough to Hold is a serial love story. Each part will be at least 3 to 5 chapters long and will cost 99 cents. Once the story is complete, it will be compiled into one full-length novel. I'm not sure I would classify it as a romance, but it's definitely a love story. And it starts off one rainy night in Richmond, Virginia--a town both loved and hated when I lived there while working on my master's degree.

Near Enough to Hold goes live on August 1. For now, it is Kindle exclusive. It'll probably go wide once the entire story is complete.

I hope you'll enjoy following Nick and Keisha's story. Let me know if you have any questions.
