The most difficult part of writing the novel was "getting" the voice of the 17-year-old youth I once was, for by now I was a grown man with children of my own.
It me took me about 18 months to write. The title reflects what I as a teenager always did with girls, i.e. strike out; the title also reflects leaving home to try to find where one belongs in the world.
The most important thing I learned from writing this novel was that I could indeed write a novel, a good novel.
Quoting Henry Ford, American industrialist, I say to my readers what I say to all my writing students: "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right!"
what to read next: if you read and liked this book...
