Title: Stop and Stare (although I really need a new one).
Genre: Not actually sure... Realistic/dramatic fiction, I suppose.
State of Novel: Finished.
Synopsis: After tragedy struck him five years ago and with an anything but loving family, Charlie Black hans't had much luck throughout his lifetime. It only gets worse when he's out with his friend, Austin, one night and a brawl leads to the unintentional death of Aimee Cardle: a manslaughter committed by Austin. Both Charlie and Austin are determined to keep the events of that night a secret but it's a lot easier said than done.
When Charlie meets a girl named Zoey Cardle, things begin to appear a little brighter. She's terrified of just about everything but there's something about Zoey that sparks a sense of happiness inside of Charlie. What he isn't aware of though is that a recent tragedy has riffled Zoey and the rest of her family: the unexpected death of Zoey's sister, Aimee: the girl Austin killed.
As revelations begin to unravel, things seem to only get worse for Charlie and Zoey. The secrets and lies build up and any kind of stability they previously had seems to be decreasing faster and faster. How long can someone keep such a deep secret before cracking in the worst way possible?
Author's Note: I've been putting off posting this novel in this forum because it's not exactly the shortest thing in the world, but hey, it's worth a try, eh? Overall it's around 120,000 words long. So yeah. Long. With that in mind, I'll be more than happy to review absolutely anything of yours in return.
Finally, if you have any questions or anything, just let me know! Thanks, guys.
