Attainment and Atonement by J. H. Cardwell (the Attainment
Series)
I, like most of you, am an avid reader of mostly contemporary
romance, new adult books, and some chick-lit. I am not a fan of very slow reads
though. I like the story to move quickly, keep my interest, and make me want to
not put it down. While this drives me crazy from lack of sleep the next day, it
is a welcome buzz in feeling like I have actually lived the story.
So, after years of reading two and three novels a week, I
decided to pursue my interest in writing my own stories. I have jotted down
ideas here and there over time; so when it was time to pick my debut novel
storyline, I chose one that came directly from local headlines. See, I have
three daughters, and reading about a date rape victim who decided to talk about
her horrific life-changing story, in hopes of alerting other young girls,
became the perfect starter. For those of you that haven’t read Attainment, be prepared
for a shocking prologue or as others have termed it an ‘in your face’
beginning. Once the tragedy occurs, the rest of the story is totally fictitious
on how this character may have lived her life – love, school, friends, family
etc… in the weeks, months, years to come. You can read about love, lust,
betrayal, and friendship. There is even a murder in the story. Overcoming this
tragedy and finding true love yields to a challenging love triangle for Reese
in the book Attainment. [Teaser…wait until you read more about Reese and the
chain of events with those special guys in Atonement - now out!]
