Still Writing

I decided to start writting a book so time back and ive finshed it this past May. iev submitted it to a few different publishers so its really only a matter of time 6 months to a year beofer i hear back from them. let me drop the Synapose on you.

Cash Lennon Vaughn left the coastal town of Saint Leona with nothing but a guitar, a notebook, and a dream stitched from bar gigs and broken strings. He believed the road to fame ran through Austin, but chasing success has left him tangled in eviction notices, burnt bridges, and a city that no longer remembers his name.

When a visit drags him back home for the funeral of a childhood friend, Cash is forced to confront what he thought he left behind: the grief of a fractured family, a town still haunted by refinery tragedies, and the people who knew him before the myth. In the chaos of his return, he loses his most precious possession—his notebook of songs, lyrics, and memories—the only proof he ever had something worth saying.

Letters from Saint Leona is a hybrid literary novel told through traditional prose, handwritten journal entries, song lyrics, postcards, and found pages. As Cash attempts to rebuild both his music and his identity, he uncovers an unexpected gift: the very notebook he lost, returned by an estranged roommate who secretly believed in him all along.

Blending themes of grief, redemption, and the price of ambition, Letters from Saint Leona is both a love letter to small towns and a roadmap for artists trying to find their voice in a world that too easily forgets them. At its heart, it’s a novel about coming home—not to stay, but to remember why you left in the first place.
