The Sky, Finally - Part 11 - "In Between Days OR Almost There"

The Trace

Mar 31 2022 • 21 mins

"The Sky, Finally" is my debut novel.  This is the story of 17 year old Anna from Omaha, Nebraska.  The year is 1979 and she feels very much like an outsider.  She is longing for another life.  Punk music, religion, partying, sex, philosophy..she's looking for a place to be.  Will she find it?

I will be releasing these in parts here on The Trace Podcast and also at andrewhackett.bandcamp.com.  I would love to hear your thoughts and feelings on the story so please reach out via email or on Instagram if you want to discuss.  Thank you for listening.

Many thank you’s to Casey Broadwater for allowing me to use his wonderful music throughout. Also thank you to Josh Horvath, Camilla Walter, and Bob Enslow for talking with me about this story throughout the entire process.  Thank you to Josh for the beautiful cover art as well!  I hope the story transports you to another place.
