On a cloudy afternoon in the middle of August, 2017. An idea, one that would alter my life for the next five years, entered my mind whilst I was counting down my final days in London.


I would write a novel.


Not just any novel. But a novel that dared to capture the beauty in everything, a tale that elevated the mundanity of the suburbs, a story whose primary focus was the weaving and stitching of language in such a way that it evoked the sublime.


Since that fateful day, I've been solely dedicated to this singular project. I've lost countless hours of sleep, rewritten A Break in Rapport at least three different times and had four different editors meticulously chip away at its imperfections until it stands as it is.


No author can guarantee that absolute satisfaction, I can't and won't promise such a Herculean task. However, I can say this without a reservation of truth. I poured every ounce of love and passion I had into these pages.


I hope reading it brings you as much as joy it brought me to write it. I hope you find love and happiness.
