I appreciate your compliments. CASCADE is sprinkled with historic facts with a "hold on to your butts plot". Chapter 1 is emotional and a strong launching point for the novel.
I wrote that chapter at the library. When we create characters, we become invested in them. They are our friends. With tears in my eyes, I wrote, barely seeing the page. My heart broke for Asher, his mother, and Colvin, his brother. My heart breaks now, even as I write this. I determined that the middle is where I should start, so I moved the chapter to #1.
Although it is fiction, there are many real facts in the book. All I can say about the book is buckle up. It's a wild ride.
It was a heart breaker, I love that you started ‘in media res’. It jumps right in. Even though I barely knew the characters, I was crying. I am hoping to find the time to read more today.
