Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

B<\/strong>owtie…’till I DIE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he\u2019s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he\u2019s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the life he loves.<\/p>\n

Andrea \u2018Dre\u2019 Capulet is strung out and tired.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she\u2019s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.<\/p>\n

And their deaths.<\/p>\n

For most people, death is the end of their story.
\n<\/strong>For Preppy and Dre, death was only the beginning.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

PROLOGUE<\/b><\/p>\n

PRESENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

PREPPY<\/b><\/p>\n

Tiny flashes of dim light spark in the darkened corners of my mind. Slowly, it turns from dusk to dawn, awakening my thoughts as the inner light grows brighter and brighter.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hear a sound, a faucet running, and I realize it\u2019s the blood rushing through my ears. When it reaches my heart I choke as it comes back to life like a bass drum. Boom. BaBOOM it beats, on and on, until it falls into a quick yet steady rhythm. The new life inside me grows louder, stronger, until death fades away and I awake on a gasp.<\/span><\/p>\n

My eyes spring open. I try to take in air, but nothing happens. I try again and my lungs burn as they finally decide to cooperate. I can breathe, but it hurts like a son of a bitch.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m fucking alive.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

My first thoughts shock the shit out of me. They\u2019re of a girl. A sad looking girl with shiny black hair and huge dark eyes sitting on the edge of the water tower.<\/span><\/p>\n

My heart falls out of rhythm, beating faster and faster until it\u2019s thrumming against my chest like the vibration of a jackhammer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Although my vision is blurry as shit, my thoughts of her are clearer than they\u2019d ever been, and for the first time in my adult life, I\u2019m fucking scared.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t even need to see the big motherfucker standing over me with a baseball bat to know I am completely and totally fucked.<\/span><\/p>\n

About the Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"t.m.<\/p>\n

T.M. (Tracey Marie) Frazier resides in sunny Southwest Florida with her husband and three feisty fur kids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She attended Florida Gulf Coast University where she specialized in public speaking. After years working in real estate and new home construction, she decided it was finally time to stop pushing her dreams to the back burner and pursue writing seriously.<\/p>\n

In the third grade she wrote her very first story about a lost hamster. It earned rave reviews from both her teacher and her parents.<\/p>\n

It only took her twenty years to start the next one.
\nIt will not be about hamsters.<\/span><\/p>\n
