BLURB:
It's
1977 - Star Wars is breaking records at the box office, Bruce
Springsteen's Born to Run tour is taking the country by storm, and
born-and-bred Jersey girl Annalise Keller has fallen in love for the
first and last time. Hot and charismatic with dreams of making it as
a rock star, Keith "Ace" Foxx is everything a teenage girl
dreams of. He falls as hard for Anna as she does for him and the two
decide to run off to California in search of his big break. Fate has
other plans though, and several years and three kids later, Ace has
traded in his guitar for a job at the local post office and Anna has
become a symbol of all he has given up. Ace spends most nights at the
local bar, trying to drink away his anger and resentment.
Flash
forward a decade, and their youngest child, Jackson, is headed
nowhere fast. In a life filled with meaningless jobs and too much
partying, music is his only true escape from the pain of a childhood
that abruptly ended one rainy night. The accident had destroyed his
family and left him with a slew of unanswered questions.
Everything
changes the night Jackson meets Leah. Shy and reserved, she doesn't
smoke and barely drinks; she certainly doesn't put out. Not exactly
the girl from the Bon Jovi videos he watched as a kid. Yet, before he
knows it, she has become his world.
Then,
just when it looks like his dreams might come true, betrayal and loss
once again threaten everything he holds dear. As Jackson struggles to
keep his world from spinning out of control, he knows one thing for
sure, the choices he makes now will either be the start of a whole
new life, or it just might be the end of him.

Excerpt:
You hear
people talk about this feeling, that once-in-a-lifetime,
struck-by-a-thunderbolt feeling; you know, like when two cartoon
characters are staring at each other and their eyes look like two big
hearts bugging out of their heads. You hear about it but never really
believe it could happen in real life. That is until it happens to you
and then it completely consumes you, leaving you exhausted and worn
out from falling for someone so hard so fast. It’s a high that you
never, ever want to come down from. I think they call it love at
first sight and, well, that’s exactly how I felt when I saw him. I
can’t even explain why I was so taken with him – he definitely
wasn’t what you’d call “classically handsome” - I just knew I
couldn’t take my eyes off him.

Hi VICTORIA! Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds like a great read.
Thank you RITA! I'm glad you stopped by!
Did you come up with the title of the book before you started writing it?
Hi BERNIE! 'Finding Jackson' was originally titled 'Losing Leah' but I decided to change it at the last minute. I'm glad because the book is more about what the character found than what he lost. Great question!
Thanks for this captivating feature and giveaway which I would enjoy greatly. Wishing you much success and a beautiful new year.
