ROCK UNSTEADY

Imagine you’re thirteen, and you’ve been best friends with your same-age stepsibling since you were tots. Matter of fact, everyone calls you “the twins.” But in just one short year, you go from this...

...to THIS...

---

​...because your dad finally made the big time with his heavy metal band (which is something along the lines of Korn):

​“Hey, y’all, I’m Haven, and animals are my jam!”

​“Sup, I’m Marlin, and I run with the popular kids. I can’t wait to get on the select baseball team.”

But while Dad’s out doing this...

​Mom is doing THIS...

And suddenly, no one’s rocking steady.

ROCK UNSTEADY is set in modern-day Kentucky, where suburban McMansions are quickly overtaking the tobacco fields. The primary conflict’s between Haven and Marlin. They’re insanely jealous of each other, and what one wants is at odds with what the other needs. I drew upon my experiences as a rural Kentucky teen, a 4-H mom, and a loved one of an addict to craft this suspenseful modern yarn, told from Haven and Marlin’s points of view.
