World of Shawn

About World of Shawn:

This is the story of a lonely kid who develops a computer game, using what little of quantum physics that he has read, that renders game levels from maps of any format; the result is just a little too realistic. When he tries to combine this “World of Shawn” with a favorite game of his childhood, “World of One,” he soon finds Worlds colliding, to the detriment of his friends. Shawn must step up and rectify things, rescue the princess and save the World.

The interaction and constant dialogue between the characters in this story, as well as the humor and action intertwined, have drawn comparison to that in such works as “The Lord of the Rings,” “Harry Potter,” and “Narnia,” so if a reader has an interest in any of those, as well as an interest in video games, either in the past or the present, it would be a safe bet that they would enjoy getting to know Shawn and his World!

“Your Hero”
(Book Excerpt)

I watch you from afar,
You don’t know who I am,
But I care for you,
And would die to defend you.
You are my Princess,
And I am here to save you.
I am Always,
Your Hero

“The One”
(Bonus Material)

When no one else is around, you are the one who listens.
When all is darkness, you are the one who turns on the lights.
When the evil in this world seems to have overcome the good and all that was once true is utterly gone,
You are the one who keeps me going just one more day.
You are the one that holds back the tide.
You are the One.

All Kallum wants is a peaceful life in Levitor city with the girl of his dreams. He has life all planned out. But after a simulation test unexpectedly leaves him reeling, normal takes a whole different meaning. He loses his guardian and fears he’s turning into his worst nightmare—a Crazy.

Worse than all of this? He finds he’s the cause of the fracture in the aetherium, a stone of vast energy that powers the dome protecting Levitor. Now the threat of invasion from the savages outside looms.

It’s up to Kallum to fix the aetherium and save the city. He will have to choose where he belongs and what is really worth sacrificing for the greater good.

Will he have the courage to do what must be done?

Legend of Mermaid Cliff (The Awakening Trilogy Book 1) by Brandon Rohrbaugh

About Legend of Mermaid Cliff (The Awakening Trilogy Book 1) by Brandon Rohrbaugh:

After his crush’s mysterious death, a teen boy uncovers century-old dark secrets in his small town.

A sinister underworld of demons and angels is revealed in this YA debut.

Sixteen-year-old Mark Parker is devastated when he learns that his high school crush, Veronica McBride, has been found dead at the bottom of a cliff in their small beach town of Rockport. As the last person seen with the ill-fated girl, the town becomes suspicious of Mark and he swears to find the truth—but in doing so, he uncovers unearthly and evil secrets his town has been harboring for a century.

Until Veronica McBride and her family moved to the small beach town of Rockport, its citizens were all from the original bloodlines of the town dating back to it’s founding in 1917—the same year the suicides began and the legend of Mermaid Cliff was born. With a suicide mysteriously happening every twenty-five years, the legend went that a mermaid lured people to the edge of the cliff, and they were in such awe of her that they walked right over the edge, falling to their death. But legends are stuff of lore… or so Mark believed.

Mark thought he walked Veronica home after the big party the night before, but he can’t be sure since he partied a little too much. When snarky classmates accuse Mark of having something to do with Veronica’s death, his best friend Jason assures him that he saw those classmates—whom he calls the Seven—at the entrance of Mermaid Cliff that night as he was driving home. Trouble is, the Seven includes Mark’s older brother, Charles. When the FBI’s Agent Amelia Taylor arrives, it’s confirmed that Veronica’s death was a homicide, and Mark, along with Jason, is determined to find out who’s responsible.

As Mark starts asking around, he’s collecting more questions than answers. His mother claims she was home but wasn’t. Old Man McGinty, who found Veronica’s body on the beach, has piles of newspaper clippings of the legend’s tragedies…along with a charm from Veronica’s bracelet. Even the FBI agent has a strange connection to the town through her own tragic circumstances.

“Don’t believe everything people tell you, boy,” the old man tells Mark. “Everything in this town is connected in a way you or I will never fully understand…”

Jason and Mark come to realize that their town is full of dark secrets, and their poking around is unveiling them one by one. “Loyalty. We may be connected to the rest of this world by land, but we have our own traditions and secrets we keep to ourselves,” his mom said mysteriously. “Some secrets are better kept secret…” Soon, Mark will learn of his own role in his town’s terrifying evils—and his destiny to stop it and put the legend to rest.

Dreamers Never Lie By Kristina Catlin

About Dreamers Never Lie By Kristina Catlin:

If there was one thing Sophie and Izzy hadn’t expected, it was the swarm of reporters waiting for them at their new school.

In Prairie Lake, being conjoined twins had been no big deal. They’d just been two girls, nothing more, inconsequentially stuck together.

But here, in the city, they were news. They weren’t just Izzy and Sophie. They were also the very abnormal daughters of Terra Tremaine, the legendary actress that had mysteriously left L.A. for Minnesota and hadn’t been heard from since.

Unfortunately, the paparazzi weren’t the only new arrivals in the twins’ lives.

There was Abby, the crazy great aunt who harbored a dark secret; there was Mr. Butler, the ethically-challenged donut-munching professor; and then there was Enrico, the peculiar son of an antiquated contract killer– a contract killer that wants someone close to them dead.
