Going through the final edits for my newest book (Mature YA Fantasy/Contemporary), the 2nd in a trilogy that I hope to wrap up by early 2017. Book two is coming Oct 17, the last early next year. (The first one is free, btw, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BH86IJK) Also busy churning out podcast episodes and trying to get over the fact that I actually had Brent Weeks on a couple weeks ago. And that's all on top of reading and reviewing as much as I can. If only I had more time in the day.
The Regency wants Rozen dead. Athena wants to escape. And Wyatt can't stop bouncing between the two different worlds. Can he save them both?
SHORT TERM 12 meets THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA in this story of a young teen struggling to reconcile a forgotten past, and a torrid escape to a new world.
Fifteen year old Wyatt can't believe he's been sent to The Shepherd's Crook, a treatment center for "disturbed youth," but he's found a magical escape.
In Hagion, he is seen as a Druid of myth and legend, returned to save the world with ancient magic. At the Crook, the stunning Athena thinks he can free her as well, and he can't help but pledge to do so.
He's confident that he can save all those that call on him.
But, he's not crazy. Honest, he's not.
He's just Wyatt. Wyatt the Mighty.
Based on the author's experience working in a residential treatment center, "The Mighty" is a story part fantasy adventure and part contemporary struggle of a troubled teen. It has a distinct YA feel to it, but delves into some darker adult issues.
No, it's free on all Amazon sites. The link i listed is for the US site, but it IS free other places, both Amazon and outside sites like B&N, Apple, etc.

He's not crazy. Honest, he's not. He's just Wyatt. Wyatt the Mighty.
Fifteen-year-old Wyatt has been sent to a treatment center for "disturbed youth." No one understands him. He wants nothing more than to escape from it all.
And he does.
Through a magic he doesn't understand, he finds himself in Hagion, a realm of fantastical creatures and immense wonder. He quickly finds himself in the company of a runaway warrior and two Children--a strange race of underground creatures that seem forever joyful. They claim Wyatt is a Druid, a powerful figure of myth and legend, sent to restore peace to all of the Realms. He doesn't bother correcting them.
Finally, he can be the hero he's always dreamed of.
But claiming to be a hero and actually being a hero are two different things. And it's a lesson Wyatt may have to pay dearly for.
