    About this ebook

    Steve has been gutted by the death of his parents, his sister has disappeared and is nowhere to be found, and the thought of attending another company Christmas party as a bachelor has Steve dreading the holidays. Looking for a date and maybe some companionship, Steve turns to the world of online dating. He quickly falls for a young woman he met named Alice but he is stood up once they agree to meet. Steve can't let it go and makes efforts to track Alice down and pursue her. Little does he know, Alice is going to lead him down a rabbit hole and push him to find his sister. What he discovers about his own family will shock him!

    I live in New Zealand. I read a lot when I was young but as I got older, music became more important. I started writing lyrics for songs, and after completing a large number, I wanted to expand on ideas. This was spurred on more when, waiting for a bus, I noticed a rundown house and a few ideas started to form in my mind. I decided to write something based on that. From there came a good attempt at a short story. That kickstarted my passion. More ideas started to flood in and I started to write more and more. I would like to build a large fanbase for my work, giving people an escape, something to ponder and much more. Thank you for your support.
