New Blog!!!

Hello everyone!!! As you know I am rather new to the blogger world and when I started I wasn't sure how I wanted my blog to look. Well, after being in the blogger world for a while I came up with the pictures that inspired my "image" I wanted for my blog.

I am NOT a talented graphic, artist, or technically savy enough to make what I wanted tocome to life, so I contacted Parajunkee Design. I showed Rachel my pictures of what inspired me and the drawing (yes, I drew something) that I did incorporating all of the pictures and etc that I liked. She then put my "image" to life!!!!!!!!!

I am soooooo thrilled with the new look as well as the new name for my book blog and I hope that you all like it too!!!

Rachel is AMAZING!!!! If you ever need anything done she is the BEST!!! She also has numerous tutorials on her blog about blogging, which are extremely helpful.

THANK YOU PARAJUNKEE DESIGN (RACHEL) FOR MAKING MY VISION COME TO LIFE!!!

SoBB is one rollercoaster ride you don't want to miss!

About to turn 30 and being discharged from drug rehab, Trevor Roberts is sure he's hit bottom with nowhere to go but up. He soon learns that sometimes the "bottom" is just the beginning. 

With more twists than California's Highway 1, the intimate narrative follows a young man on a wild month-long ride to the dizzying, drunken heights of Napa Valley excess where he falls fast for his new boss's intoxicating wife and becomes entangled in a strange threesome affair. 

But things soon begin to unravel as Trevor is drawn into a secret world of sex and scandal, only to have his lust for success drag him down again through a phantasmagoria of hedonistic hell. "Shocking and unapologetic", South of Bixby Bridge barrels along with the "frenetic pace of a Hollywood blockbuster," delivering "poetic prose loaded with images". With gripping drama, witty dialogue, and sexy, jaw-dropping glimpses into the nouveau-riche underworld of California's wealthy elite, you won't be able to put this riveting new novel down. Buckle up and enjoy the read!

From the very beginning of the book you immediately feel for the main character, Trevor, you can't help but like him even though sometimes you just want to smack him for some of the decisions he makes. Which is why he is such a likeable character, he is a real person out in the world somewhere.

The author Ryan Winfield definitely holds true to the stages that an addict goes through in real life throughout the book. The descriptions and characters are definitely people that you would meet in everyday life. The writing is excellent and it was hard to put SoBB down!!

I have already recommended SoBB to numerous people and so far everyone has loved it!!
