Six Years Gone (Gone #1)

by Jessica Gouin

  To my family and friends who continually share, and like, all of my social media posts, push my books on everyone they know, believe in me as an author, and believe my writing is good enough for public consumption. I love each one of you to pieces.

  To Tim, my other half. You torment me out of love and I wouldn’t have it any other way. You’ve stood by me since the beginning and always reassure me when I’m hardest on myself. Love your face.

  To my littles, for trying to keep it quiet when mommies working, for thinking it’s cool that mommy writes books (yes, I’m still cool to them! I know it will change soon *insert sad face*). I’m an author, and I still cannot express how deeply I love you both.

  Musical inspiration

  One of my favorite things about being an author is ripping emotions right from the reader’s soul. Music does that to me. Here are a few songs that inspired me throughout telling Sawyer and Lachlan’s story:

  Unsteady by X Ambassadors

  Love Songs Drug Songs by X Ambassadors

  Litost by X Ambassadors

  Unconsolable by X Ambassadors

  Naked by X Ambassadors

  Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift

  Flaws by Bastille

  Ophelia by The Lumineers

  White Lie by The Lumineers

  My Eyes by The Lumineers

  Maybe Someday by Griffin Peterson

  Woman Woman by Awolnation

  I am by Awolnation

  Tear In My Heart by Twenty One Pilots

  Send My Love by Adele

  About the author

  Jessica Gouin hates talking about Jessica Gouin. Especially in the third person.

  I’m a fairly normal person from Windsor, Ontario. I was born here, grew up here, met my hubs here, and had my children here. I really couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.

  More than anything, I love watching my children grow every day. They amuse the hell out of me. I swear they were sent to earth to provide my life with comedic relief. My babies (I say babies, but they’re 5 and 8, still and forever will be babies, am I right?), and my husband, are the reasons why I get up every morning and continue to fight the good fight.

  When I’m not enjoying my mommy-life, I’m writing. Writing is my stress reliever. I go a little mad when I’m not creating an escape path for the characters in my head. I love, love, love to read. I’m a reader first, always have been. I try to branch and read all types of genres, but I always seem to come back to those epic love stories. I’m a sucker for a great kiss. When I need breaks from the literary world, I have a few shows that I watch with the hubs; The Walking Dead, The Vampire Diaries, Chicago Fire, and Grey’s Anatomy are my favs. I love rain storms, a good laugh, strong coffee, sleep, new pens, my purse collection, and anything with chocolate. I hate mean people, the outdoors, heights, and centipedes.

  I genuinely become ecstatic when I receive a like on my Facebook page, or when someone reaches out to say they enjoyed one of my books. So, thank you for stalking me because I love it!

  There are so many great books, and authors, in the world today which makes it super hard to keep track of every new releases or any other news. If you don’t want to miss any important updates from me, sign up for my newsletter found on my Facebook Author page or my website. I won’t spam and promise to only send out a letter when I have something to say.
