Story Behind The Book
I have to admit that the idea for the story involving a week of Will Gailey's life came out of the blue. I write fiction concerning the biblical End of Days, but this story is a departure from that theme.
My protagonist Will is in physical, mental, and spiritual pain because of an event that's shaken the very core of his existence. Because of the pain he has a "Jones" that he knows he needs to get free of. Can he kick the Jones? Because of his trauma his personality has changed, but does he ever become his old self again? He places the blame for all of this malady on someone who should be his hope and his peace; does he ever come to reconciliation with this "someone"?
Does Will even recover and survive? You'll have to read the story to know the answers to that question and so many others!
