Dissonance

Isaac Cohen is an Israeli human who must embark on a journey to stop Adam The Forsaken from losing control of his supernatural powers. Along the way, his resolve will be challenged and his adversities larger than life. Will Isaac rise above it and save the human race from extinction, or will he too fall prey to the furry races as so many had before? The fate of the fictional world rests in his capable hands.

Adam Thomas Applebaum is the author of 6 books as of this publication. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and is concentrated in Information Systems. Adam founded a seasonal popup store that would make convention appearances and operate solely online outside of that in 2016. He has offered both self-published books he wrote, calligraphy, and poetry services. Adam has a YouTube channel related to that side venture. It aired its first video on March 09, 2021, where he reads creepypastas, demonstrates how he writes poetry and helps us get in touch with emotions men were expected to repress for generations. He also controlled a mostly variety archive channel for things he did on a whim since YouTube began but only uploaded his first video on February 15, 2010. Adam's most significant influence for his value of being well-read and prolific was his late Great Grandma Frances Zimmer, who died of Alzheimer's. He said, "She knew how to take a board or card game and take me out of the competitive tension of it by conversing about unrelated things." She also gave him a glow-in-the-dark teddy bear as a baby, which he regrets selling or donating as a teen, and just this year bought a replica of it in like new condition. Said item has since been an easter egg throughout this and other works Adam has created. It does not necessarily mean to the reader that something tragic is about to happen. Those who are said to hold such a specific item will have a much more significant role before them than any reasonable person may expect of them when it is bestowed. It could be anything from being the main character of their own story to someone of interest in a case. Though some supposedly own these items, not all of them will have anything extraordinary happen to them. Instead, their being "written" to have it in their possession makes them a person of interest, if at all. Adam grew up in Covina and moved to Torrance at 14, so it should be no coincidence that many exciting things happen in both places. The black and white Maine Coon, some of you saw on the back cover of previous books, Jimmy, died July 05, 2020, of complications arising from Anemia, found after a flea bath. Adam has a rock holding the remnants inside, a clay pawprint, and a picture of him as a kitten. Adam went from being a cashier and quality assurance analyst to an office admin and now lives independently of his parents in an apartment in Los Angeles, California. Since leaving them, he has not stopped writing and probably will not soon. Nevertheless, Adam has focused more on professional development than attending conventions and meetups since the move. If he could run any brick-and-mortar business in the world, he would want to own a bookstore where people who are not traditionally published could have their works sold. Adam would carry almost exclusively book titles not found in significant book retailers except online, barring his store. Adam might also sell custom poetry as he does online, depending on how many people he expected to visit the store regularly and how many employees he had working with him. Adam does not quite know if he could make this work long-term or secure the necessary funding, but perhaps it will be something he does when he can afford to retire.
