It's a crazy & comical universe filled with would-be artists, musicians, & poets. It's a story of surfing & love, extraordinary sunsets & strange dreams, wild parties, & the eternal quest for the meaning of life after Labor Day.

Everything I Loved More is a roller-coaster collection of true short stories that follow a young man searching for sincere adventure along the tops of freight trains and mountain ranges.

Between the many gripping scenes, his debasing humor acknowledges the foolish romance of it all.Beyond each singular exciting and hapless adventure, an important journey is told between the tales: the journey of a young man attempting to combat mental health issues with a potent dose of unabashed recklessness - and just how well it almost works.

"After a rebellious summer night that almost claimed her life, Amy Henderson -- the Onslow publican's only daughter -- is sent away to suffer a fate far worse than any other punishment: Boarding School. Three years on, a now nineteen-year-old Amy returns to Onslow for the summer. What once was a cauldron of activity with live bands, hot meals and cold beers, the Onslow Hotel now lies dark, deserted and depressing. All fond childhood memories of loiting on the hotel stairs and eavesdropping on customers' colourful conversations are in the distant past. With the new threat of putting the Onslow up for sale, Amy reluctantly turns to a local tradesman for help: Sean Murphy, the very same Onslow boy who saved her life all those years ago. With his help and that of some old friends, the task is clear: spend the summer building the hotel back up to its former glory or lose it for good. In an endless summer, Amy soon realises that sometimes in order to save your future, you have to face your past, even if it's in the form of a smug, gorgeous Onslow boy."--Unedited summary from back cover.
