Set in Almaden, California in the 1850’s, young Jacob Smith is viewed as an outcast by his schoolmates and, following an attack by bullies, his family is forced to make a choice that will change his life forever. As the years pass, and the Almaden Quicksilver Mining Establishment industrializes the town, Jacob feels a strong connection to the land until one day he meets an ancient Native who reveals a mystic secret. Now, with the town endangered by a violent gang of outsiders, it is up to Jacob to harness the powers of spiritual Mount Umunhum and confront a destiny much greater than any boy could dream of.

About the Author

An American Storyteller
Born and raised in Willow Glen, CA, Julian P. Flores' art of storytelling began early in life. After focusing his college studies on art, history, philosophy, and design, Julian turned his eye to films, holding a major interest in the thriller and horror genres. Over the years Julian founded the company Silent Eye Productions, as well his independent film called "Hicks Road", which was featured in various film festivals. It was only a matter of time before Julian put pen to paper to write "Hicks Road: Jacob's Story", inspired by the generations of urban legends that stem from the actual Hicks Road in Almaden, CA.
When he isn't writing Julian is a lover of wine, art, food, gardening, the outdoors, socializing, watching movies, and reading (of course). You can follow him at the button underneath his profile picture and you can also go to his production company's website at for social media and updated news, stories, and historical information.
