Par For The Course (of regret)


Back in 2021, I begun this journey of creating Crosby and the world he lived in. Nearly two years later I've decided to publish the book in it's entirety. At the moment, I have no set chapter
titles but that is subject to change.


I spent a very long time and poured a lot of energy into this project. If you enjoy it, please leave a donation! The link is in my author profile at (https://www.booksie.com/users/lola-jey-302419)!
