Romance Contemporary

In this dramatic love story driven equally by angst and hope, famous movie star Casy Devon finds himself trapped by a deadly drug addiction, one he knows will eventually kill him. Sick of the fame, hopeless and fighting for the will to live, Casy turns to God in a last ditch effort, asking for a reason to go on living, and a hope to be 'normal'.

His answer comes in a most unlikely form, a beautiful woman named Bo Black, who has managed to remain oblivious to his glamorous career. Casy immediately falls for Bo, his addiction overpowered by his love for her. But within days, Casy realizes Bo is more emotionally scarred than he. Her pain, insecurities and fears become a challenge to the relationship, and Casy, for fear of losing his new-found freedom, struggles to protect her from all the forces working to tear them apart. In the process, Casy learns valuable lessons on selflessness, hope and what it really means to be 'normal'.

Re: Seven Days Normal

Your great advice applies to much more than writing! Wonderful.

Very well done on competing your first novel (I feel sure there will be more) and on getting it to a receptive publisher. Would you have gone the self-publishing route if one had not come along? I hope the book goes very well for you and I expect you are already at the stage of thinking up another one.

Your story sounds so familiar! ;) I still remember the first
story I wrote that caused my teachers started telling me I
should be a writer. It's just..when? I hope I too can find the
motivation to start one day soon.

I love reading this. I thought about writing a book. My Mom said I could do anything I set my mind too. But 3 years ago I lost my Mom - she said this just before she never knew me anymore so I treasure it. But I decided instead to do reviews.
(
Jane Squires 5:48pm January 6, 2013)

I loved hearing about your history as a writer. I think it was great that your teacher laminated and "bound" your book. What a wonderful teacher to encourage a student the way she did.

I have to say that I found your posting to be as refreshing as your secretarial job was!! After I graduated High School a long time ago, I wanted to pursue English in college, but was discouraged by my Mother, so I never went at all!! It turned out to be my loss, for my Parents would have paid my way, regardless of my vocation. If I had been smarter, I would have bounced the idea off of my Dad. Anyway, I've always wanted to write a book, and my Friends have encouraged me, but I've turned into a chicken. Perhaps your posting has given me a little more guts and encouragement to at least get a draft on paper of how I'd like the book laid out. It would be a start, and I could get it out of my head, and fill that room with something else!! lol Thank you!! I'm looking forward to reading your book!! Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!!

Thank you for your words of inspiration and wisdom.
I also love that your teacher did all that for you and that is where you got your start.
(
Carla Carlson 8:05am January 7, 2013)

Great advice! I think all of us can
remember our first masterpiece we wrote
at an early age. Of course, some were
much better than others. I'm so happy
your first story has lead you to here. Thank
you!
