If I Were Me

SEPTEMBER 2017

Can a free spirit find the freedom she craves?

Jeannie Astor chases after her dreams while her identical twin adheres to the path their parents laid. The wild child seeks relief from her stifling life in New York and will do anything to see the world at large.

After Jeannie makes her escape, she soon discovers that freedom may come at too high a price. When she returns home, she tries in earnest to live up to the demands of her family name. Stymied by rules, rejection, and criticism at every turn, she fights to hang on to what little is left of herself.
When reality and dream collide, will she become someone she swore she’d never be?

About the Author

HAVE COFFEE, WILL WRITE

I believe that most good writers must have a touch of insanity. They need to hear their characters voices in their head. It is absolutely essential that a writer be able to express feeling and demonstrate numerous personalities in one story. Managing that is not always an easy task.

Giving people a character with whom they can identify with or fall in love with is the best gift an author can give to their reader. It's what I strive to do.

As a reader, I’ve been through a roller coaster of emotion in one book. As a writer, I am determined to make others feel what my characters are going through. Love, hate, anger, pain, pleasure—it’s all I could hope for.

My hope as a writer is to pull emotion from every reader using the words I’ve scribed on the page. If I can do that, no matter the emotion, I’ve done what I’ve set out to accomplish.
