I really want more people to check out my story "Pitch The Adventures of Danger Rabbit." It's pretty much my first book ever, and it's my longest. It's based on my real fears and ambitions in life, and I put more of myself into that book than anything else. Its also been my most successful in other places. I think people read the first chapter and assume everything stays simple like a fairy tale, but they don't get deep enough to uncover what actually lies ahead. And I could blame myself for making the first chapter too soft compared to the rest of the book, but the point was to go from minor problems at the beginning to serious soul-crushing issues toward the end.
Pitch is about a boy who wants what other people have. When he's too naive or ignorant to listen when his father tells him he doesn't need all the money or magic in the world to be happy, bad things happen. It covers depression vs. codependency. Wealth. What happens after graduating from high school. Learning to deal with mistakes and making the most of them. And on top of that, his best friend is a satyr who refuses to wear pants. There's a goblin with ray guns, magicians hunting leprechauns, and my favorite....Santa Claus. Yes, I said it. Santa is here. It's not a holiday story, but the big guy is there anyway.
It's my first and favorite story, and I just wish more people would give it a chance.
