My Thoughts on Souls Astray

I love a good romance story.  They just sweep you away into a new world and that’s wonderful.  But also they allow you to see a glimpse into other people’s lives and that’s fun too.  

This story is more than just a romance novel.  It’s also a heartfelt novel that includes lots of emotions and healing.  I love that the author gave us a glimpse of hurting and healing.  When you lose someone close to you you tend to hide your heart a bit.  No one wants to purposely allow themselves to feel pain. 

But what if we have to feel pain to live?  What if pain is truly just a part of life? 

This was a great book to read and I hope you give it a go.  It’s a great tragedy but also a great love story.  Oh and the cover is gorgeous too!

Hello everyone!

First, I wanted to thank you all for checking out this blog tour! In this fast-paced world, the fact that you took a moment out of your day to read this is actually a pretty big honor. I appreciate you checking out my little book and taking the time to read my introduction.

Souls Astray was the book I wrote when my granddad died. We were very close, and at the time he died, I was a lonely teenager, recently graduated from high school and unsure of my next step. I was heartbroken by his death – it felt like the nail in the coffin of my family, and it felt a little like he was the last person who believed in me.

This wasn’t true, but my, did it feel my dramatic self with lots of thoughts! I poured those into the book, writing it all in about three weeks, and then I spent the next few years revising it.

This book (and the other novels in its series) are of a different tone than my usual books. Even though I delve into difficult topics in all my stories – such as grief and loss, miscarriage, assault, and serious mental health issues – this story somehow ended up with a tone I don’t think I could replicate if I tried.

This was the story I wrote out of my own grief and desperation, my own feeling that my world was falling apart. It’s like sharing a piece of my own heart to share it. Though Adele and Troy had very different journeys than mine, which is pretty peachy compared to their lives, I still relate to them.

This was also the first book I didn’t dedicate to a real person – the dedication ended up being inspired by a song, actually, which was comforting to me during this time: God Only Knows by For King & Country. “For the lonely, for the ashamed, the misunderstood, and the ones to blame. What if we could start over?”

Thank you again for your time!
