Also, there aren',t enough female-centric coming-of-age stories out there.Tell us more about your lead character.ááStacia is a 17-year-old, everyday, teenage girl who was raised in a very dysfunctional home where the front door is left revolving by myriad of temporary father figures brought home by her alcoholic mother. She',s never truly felt what it means to be loved, until she meets the other girls in the house on Seaside Lane.Why should readers give your work a try?ááBecause I try my hardest to write stories using concepts that I feel haven',t been done before. Originality is my primary concern, followed by a huge dose of empathy for characters the reader will care for deeply, darkness, and often times hope, but never in an unrealistic manner.
