Count to Six

Press release:

“Feet shuffling beyond his metal door blends with nightly screams from Room 5. Perfect at everything in life, being trapped inside the Asylum at Saint’s Hospital isn’t where Jacob imagined he’d spend his senior year. How dare people do this to him. His days are monotonous: go to a meal, see the doctor, and squeeze in some yard time, all of which is scattered between hours in a tiny cell waiting for someone else to decide his fate.”

Pique your interest? Wondering what comes next in Jacob’s life?

If so, you’re invited to join Sammy D. as he reads passages from his debut self-published novel, Count to Six, at GO ART!’s Seymore Place, 201 East Main St., Batavia, at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

The reading is an open, free event, and GO ART’s Tavern 2.o.1 will be open. Sammy D. will also be selling copies of his book at the event.

Sammy D. is a fiction author living in Western NY. He currently writes general fiction, and believes that the messy stories and struggles of life are stories that need to be told. He is currently working on a second unconnected novel.

Links to purchase digital copies of his book can be found on his website -- www.svdbooks.com.

Here’s a bit more from his book:

“Sessions with Dr. Forster are fine until a strange box is brought out and chords are attached all over Jacob’s body. Electric shocks are thought to be the cure but Jacob doesn’t feel cured. Instead, he struggles to hold onto the remaining pieces of himself and of Charlie as each zap takes a little more away. His saving grace is the three freaks he befriends in ASH.”
