Synopsis

After billions died in the End War, a small group of survivors found refuge in the Crag cave. Cut off from the outside world, they have no way of knowing if they're the only people left alive. To ensure their survival, they split into four groups: the Hunters, the Harvesters, the Keepers and the Protectors. As generations pass, the population becomes more and more murderous. Killing is so common in the Crag that there are no longer laws against it. Sam, a seventeen-year-old hunter, was left outside the Crag as an infant. Believed to have been a gift from the Sky Gods, there are whispers that Sam is the Sky Child, the one prophesized to bring peace and prosperity to the Crag. Anyone special or different is a target for murder, and Sam is the biggest target of all.

About this title

About the Author:

My renewed passion for writing started back in 2009. I decided I wanted to write a screenplay, one that I could use to make a movie with friends and family. I'm a huge movie buff, and I've always wanted to act in and direct my own movie. So I started writing the screenplay 'N01R'. The title is still one that I think worthy of being made into a movie, but the original screenplay probably is not. Maybe someday I will revisit it. After finishing 'N01R', I felt the urge to write another screenplay. This one I would call 'The Appearance of Evil'. It is a very dark tale, based on the idea that a famous actor hires a company to fake his death. Years ago I read some sage advice: it's much easier to publish a book and make money than it is to sell a screenplay, so I turned to writing novels. My first novel, LUMINARIES, was well received. It currently sits at 4 stars on Amazon and Goodreads. I also wrote a screenplay based on LUMINARIES. My next two books I wrote under a pen name. They are the first two books in a trilogy. I've chosen not to include the information about those books for a multitude of reasons; personal and professional. My newest, SKY CHILD, is a YA Dystopian with a huge twist. The main character's gender is never revealed. I'm hoping this story resonates with readers from every walk of life, and maybe opens some eyes. When I'm not spending time writing, shooting pool, or enjoying the finer things in life, I'm spending time with my amazing fiancee, Nicole. Without her love, feedback and support, I wouldn't be able to write the stories I'm writing with such enjoyment.
