THE NEXT CAP BOOK: TRAVISTY

[Mark Arbour]

Greetings loyal readers!  The last chapter of Freshmen is Chapter 93, so the story is almost at an end.  It's been a good run, and I have really enjoyed and appreciated your comments.  That's the fuel that keeps me going. 

The next CAP book will be called Travisty.  Here's the story description:  

When Travis Buck becomes famous for playing golden boy Jackson Pryce in the TV hit Palisades, the role begins to consume him. Off screen, he hides trauma, addiction, and a secret relationship with his best friend, Will Schluter — while his co-star Ken “Kendo” Dolan lures him deeper into self-destruction. As Travis’s real life mirrors Jackson’s unraveling, fame, love, and control collide. Forced into isolation to survive, he must decide whether to keep performing the perfect life everyone expects — or risk everything to be real.

It will be published starting in December.  Happy Holidays!

I've decided that this is the theme song for "Palisades." 

I wanted something that actually sounds like it could have been a 2000's teen drama theme song without actually having been one. This fits that to a T. lol

I hate to see the Freshman end, I am thankful for another book to feed my Arbour addiction!

I hate to see the current book is ending.  I am not looking forward to the downward slide of Travis and the impact that has on Will and the family.  This "Kendo" sounds like a piece of excrement...  Too bad that life really sucks so much of the time.

Just remember that I love happy endings, more or less.

The happy endings happen when you're done torturing your characters through the beginnings and the middles.
