Gettin' 'er done.

It has been almost 5 years since I began working on Rain Saga. It's been a long road with many bumps, twists and turns along the way. It has been an exciting experience, but the journey has almost come to an end. It is a bitter sweet victory. On the one hand, my story is about to be released, freeing my mind to pursue my many other ventures. However, I must say I will be sad to see Rain Saga go...  
   For the last few days now I have been sequestered in my loft proofreading my manuscript; making sure all the lines and paragraphs are aligned correctly. So it is with great pride that I am pleased to report to you that Rain Saga is officially finished. And I must say, she is quite a good story. (I'm not just saying that because I'm the author. Rain Saga really is a great story. If I'm impressed by it, then you know it has to be good.)

So once gain, mark your calendars for September 1st. There are only 19 days left; you don't want to miss the world premier!

     If this is you, then today is your lucky day. If you have a question post in it the comments. I will do my best to answer them in a future post (Without spoiling the story, of course.)

Special Thanks.

I want to take this opportunity  say a very special thank you to Valerie Seelye for agreeing to make Rain Saga's amazing cover art work.  She really put a lot of time and effort into it, and it shows. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. She is by far, one of the best graphic designers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Rain Saga Prologue.

For all of you who might be curious about what will be happening in Rain Saga, here is a sneak peek of what to expect come September first, 2014.




Prologue



Twenty years ago the world changed forever. Almost overnight, the serene, blue sphere that was once our Earth was reduced to a dark green smudge shrouded in a blanket of torrential storms.
The blame for the catastrophe quickly fell on terrorists who had coordinated a cyber-attack on Cathedral: the Unitech cooperation’s primary hydrothermal reactor.
Cathedral was a marvel of technological engineering. Designed by Jack Anderson, the company’s founder, it was the first in a series of generators capable of powering an entire continent simply by harnessing the energy of super-heated, super-pressurized groundwater. Of course, as with so many other marvels of modern engineering, no one expected the devastating effect it could have if something were to go wrong.
The terrorists had planned to overload the reactor via an extremely aggressive computer virus. But Cathedral had been designed with thousands of fail-safe protocols, making it virtually impervious to any form of computer-born attack. Bishop, the reactor’s governing artificial intelligence unit, compensated for the terrorists’ meddling by turning the reactor’s main generator to full power. So instead of destroying itself as they’d hoped, Cathedral created a massive super storm that covered the entire planet.
Millions died in the flash floods. Millions more succumbed to disease.
For twenty years, mankind has battled for high ground—against the swamp and against themselves …

The year is 2119.

Introducing Rain Saga.

Rain Saga is an exciting new, young adult novel set in the near future--in a world ravaged by ecological collapse and disease, where mega-corporations rule and looters struggle for survival deep in the swamps enveloping the planet. Rain Saga is a story of murder and mystery; of betrayal and redemption. A story of healing, where a band of unlikely heroes must rise above their own weaknesses to save mankind from certain extinction.

Be on the lookout for Rain Saga: Coming exclusively to Kindle, September 1st, 2014!
