Dear Reader,
Thanks for stopping by. If you are here because you heard of a little novel called If I Had Two Lives, and thought “That sounds interesting. I’ll check it out,” you can click here to watch the book trailer and read the reviews. It’s embarrassing, really, how often I return to these kind words in times of doubt.
So how do you know if this novel is right for you? After all, it takes time and an emotional commitment to read a novel, so I’ve outlined a few points to help you decide.

This book might be the read you’re looking for if:
∙ You’re curious about the lives of others, even if they’re drastically different from your own.
∙ In your own life, you struggle in your relationship with one or more of your parents.
∙ You have had a complicated friendship that is profound, beautiful, painful.
∙ You’ve loved against your own instinct.
∙ You feel you understand loneliness more than anyone else.
∙ You are not afraid of confronting difficult emotions.
∙ You simply love to read!
If you’re an aspiring writer,
and are curious about other books that have helped shaped my writing journey, you can see them here. You might also find my interviews useful, where I talked more about the craft and the inspiration behind the novel.
On the other hand,
you might be here because you have read the novel already and are eager to find out what other projects I have up my sleeve. In that case, thank you so much for reading! You can find my short fiction and essays here.
And lastly,
if you have stumbled here by chance because….the Internet. Welcome! I’m Abbigail. Every morning, I make myself a latte with soy milk. Coffee makes me 1000% smarter, so I can’t write without it. I have three cats and a dog, who insist on breaking down the door to my office every day. They don’t approve of this writing business. If you’ve read this far, and wonder if you can find a more condensed version with all the crucial information, you can check out my more formal bio.
Thank you again for stopping by via this magical and anonymous portal.
If you’ve read the book and out of the gazillion other stories you’ve encountered, this one somehow managed to stick with you, please consider leaving a review on your favorite bookstore or Goodreads, and sharing it on your social media. It’s the best thing you can do for Indie authors like me! Hope we can chat more one day about books & cats. Till then.
