Dear Bloggers,

Back in February 2011, I completed a novel titled “Growing up Traffic” now re-titled “HUSH” about suburban teens subjected to prostitution by other suburban teens.  Unfortunately this novel was not what some agents were looking to represent, and other agents who took an interest suggested that I tone down the novel as it was graphic and somewhat intense due to the nature that my MC is only 14 years old.  But because I was reluctant to do just that, simply because I felt it would only take away from the premise of the novel itself, I decided to leave the novel “as is”.  Since it has been sitting on my shelf (aka, flashdrive) I decided that I would either do one or the other:  Self-publish or publish it here in 2 Chapter increments at a time, three times a week.  So I’m going to do both.

Before I start publishing, a quick warning to the fainthearted:  This novel does contain scenes of physical abuse, violence, drug abuse, kidnapping, child sex exploitation, and graphic scenes of rape, gang-rape and incest.

Your comments are welcomed, good or bad, and will post once out of moderation.  I thank you for reading, and for allowing this piece to shine here.
