I wish I could shake your hand.""Whether you grew up in the 1970's in the Midwest, or in another decade and another part of the country, Jeff Kozlowski's book, "The One", appeals to all of us who have ever been a young teenager. It's a powerful story about teenage uncertainty and angst, and the emotional upheaval we all go through when we are making our choices between being cool, supporting those that love us, or being true to ourselves. Kozlowski does not lecture and does not write all about happy endings. He writes about truth; the very real and colorful story of a fifteen year old boy going through "the process". He reminds us all just how difficult, but formative, this time was in our lives and will be in those of our children. Whether you read this novel through the eyes of a young man or a young woman, you will recognize yourself within its pages." “The One” reveals a raw portrayal about the struggleswe all face transitioning through adolescence. JeffKozlowski’s remarkable ability pushes theconventionality of adolescent storytelling creatingauthentic characters that reverberate the emotionalchord of the reader.""The One is a beautiful book about relationships and how blind we can sometimes be at the simplicity of life. Beauty is right in front of us." "I learned a lot from this book that can help me in the real world. I recommend that all teenagers read this story because it can perhaps give them insight on their own life and help them through problems they have." "The book made me never want to put it down. The book was so descriptive and flowed so well I felt like I was actually there." "The descriptive words were so well used that I could picture the setting in my head and imagine I was there. This book was one of the best I have ever read." "The One was about letting the book get to the reader with a story of morals and mistakes and how one event can affect you for a lifetime." * ON BEING A WRITER *To all of the aspiring writers I offer this, with the humble realization that I am still learning about writing everyday: Believe that you'll make it on your first try, hold tight to that belief, never change your writing style to fit into fanfiction but instead create a book that re-writes what fanfiction is, stay inspired, say something new, teach something great and never give up. Spend time preparing yourself for rejection by realizing that the process is part of the journey. If you are a true writer no failure will detour you from your vision. Look at the no's as incentive to keep your drive for a successful writing career alive and remember there will be critics. * PRESS PLAY TO VIEW MY BOOK TRAILER * * IMPORTANT SITES TO VISIT *
