This scene always makes me cry when I get to it.

Deep in the Blackwoods, his partner was chasing his lifelong obsession. A killer who would do anything to escape. The forest was not a place for the weak. Everyone in Greenvale knew of the dangers that lay within. Even Dameon, an accomplished survivalist, gave those shadows a wide berth. Yet, he bolted into those woods twelve hours ago.

My book follows Detective #DameonHayes, a failed cop turned private eye.

Dameon stumbles across a body that reminds him of his father's unsolved murder from 20 years prior and ends up hunting the individual responsible for his father's death.

I flipped the top slice of bread on top, sliced them diagonally, licked the knife clean and placed it in the sink. I placed a handful of chips on the plates between the wedges, before closing the mayo jar and placing it back in the fridge. I placed the two plates, cup of coffee, and a bottle of water onto a carrying tray and headed back upstairs. On my way past the stack of books, one of many, I grabbed a well-loved copy of Stephen King’s IT. It seemed that all those years of waitressing paid off, I thought. I placed the tray on the dinner stand, next to Dameon’s bed. Book in hand I sank back into the chair and let the first few seconds of luxury relax me. I turned to look at Dameon, his hand was just outside the covers. I reached for it and opened the novel. I smiled at his chilly touch, happy to share my warmth with him. I read aloud, just loud enough for Dameon to hear. Images of a young Tim Curry came to mind, with his face covered in white makeup, frizzy red hair, a crimson nose, bloodshot eyes, and razor-sharp teeth.

Snippet from my WiP, including mention of famed author Stephen King's IT.
