Summary:
John Lange was your typical New York detective. At least, that's what he's been told. The only thing Lange can remember is getting caught in a near fatal explosion, and now his ex-wife's employers, an organization known only as Project NOVA, have become his only lifeline. No one's willing to tell the whole truth, and no one can be trusted. NOVA's own operatives have been disappearing, and someone on the outside has been watching Lange for a long, long time.
But before Lange can investigate the secretive Project NOVA, he's going to have to learn the truth about himself. And the secrets John Lange's own mind hides may yet make this case his last!

Thanks for your questions, I'm glad you like the novel. I hope this helps.
Challenges: The challenges I face when it comes to writing really depends on the task at hand. With the novel, there's the daunting word count-- my final draft is on track to clock it at just over 120,000 words (twice the length of the average novel). Between school, work, and my social life I have to make time to write, so often I will try and drop everything and write if I'm in the mood for it. I'm at my most creative late at night, but unfortunately I don't get to take advantage of that as often as I'd like to. One of the biggest challenges is handling criticism and rejection, not so much receiving it but learning from it and growing as a writer. I try to do something different and new with every project I undertake, and sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. Another big challenge is perserverence; sometimes I want to drop projects I've started in favor of newer, better ideas, but I try as hard as I can to tough it out and finish what I've started. It's easier to chart my growth that way.
Rewards: There's something really exciting about putting a lot of time and effort into a project and having a finished product to show for it. Even during the process of writing the novel (which has been a few years in the making at the very least) I've taken up and finished a number of smaller projects just to have something to show for it. Just this year alone I wrote a sitcom pilot, a collection of nearly eighty short poems, and interviewed the lead guitarist from the band Fireworks. The ultimate reward from writing is telling a story that no one has ever told before and keeping a captivated audience. It's really its own reward.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions feel free to ask :D
