In 2005 Shane Adams followed his dreams, gave up a good career and opened a motorcycle shop. Just over two years later their county was hit by a record flood putting his business both literally and financially under water. After fighting to survive the flood, the economy tanked and motorcycle sales dropped by 90%. To add insult to injury their family home's mortgage almost tripled. After struggling for another year Shane took a new job traveling across the country five days a week and working in his shop the other two. That lasted for a year and nine months until he closed the failing business. By that time the family home was in jeopardy. He spent months working with the bank trying to save it and thought he had.

But a few months later he received a letter informing him that the bank had chose not to. That's when he wrote his first novel "Rock Bottom" in an attempt to save his family's home.
