To the Bitter End
Some losses don’t heal…
They harden
After seeing the devastating results a brutal attack has on his best friend Rebecca, Craig Marshall is left with an absence he can’t name and a justice system that offers no relief. He unravels. Days blur, nights stretch, his thoughts circling the one person who refuses to disappear from his mind.
What begins as survival becomes obsession.
What feeds necessity becomes inevitable.
Told in a voice both intimate and unflinching, this is a psychological descent into grief, fixation, and the illusion of closure, a story about how love can curdle, how morality erodes, showing what remains when a man steps beyond the point of return.
Nicky Shearsby
Born in England, breaking into serious novel writing wasn’t something Nicky began in earnest until taking early retirement. She spent two decades running businesses in graphic design, magazine publication and web development before setting up an organic vegan skincare manufacturing company. She has written several non-fiction books including training courses on nutrition, skincare, self-help coaching and business mentoring, and is trained in psychology, life coaching, counselling and nutrition.
Nicky’s serious passion is for fiction writing. For as long as she can remember, she has been fascinated by the human mind. Our emotions, how we think, those nonsensical things we do, the struggles life too often throws our way. Because of this, her writing reflects the questions she feels are not asked often enough. Nicky’s writing pushes boundaries, challenging reader perspective by tackling complex issues through powerful characterization.
Nicky’s work asks serious questions that promote deeper and more profound thinking. Her aim is simple; to open up emotional and inspirational thinking that guides others within their own lives, helping them to see things differently. We all struggle, and escaping into fiction is the perfect way to unburden a busy mind, whilst hopefully learning valuable life lessons along the way.
