Since I did not leave a note in the book before publication, I decided to put one in for this wattpad sample. As Time Goes By is the first original story I wrote, apart from the scribbled fairytales from my childhood. This book will always have a special place in my heart, and I went through five different drafts till I was happy with it. The characters of Christen and Violet at the time meant nothing to me when I created them, only for that to change months later. A few months after created the first draft of the book I'd met a young men who resembled one of the characters from this novel, and soon after he became one of my best friends. Another person i'd like to mention is my lovely friend and editor, Maya. Without her input and encouragement this book might never have been released. I hope all those on wattpad who stumble upon this sample and enjoy it consider buying the book, however a simple vote and follow would make me just as happy.
