Nighthawks
by Jeremy Flagg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Sci-Fi (Dystopian)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
His debut exhibit features the
transformation of his high school friend, Sarah, as she went from a shy,
soft-spoken girl to a Child of Nostradamus—an individual gifted with
extraordinary abilities. Living in a society where the Children of Nostradamus
are captured by the government, Conthan’s exhibit draws attention from
officials and protesters alike.
A government psychic may be dead,
but that doesn’t stop her from manipulating the future…
The deceased White House aide is
only remembered for her failed assassination attempt on the president decades
before Conthan was born. Foreseeing her own death, she scribed letters to bring
together specific Children of Nostradamus on a mission that will change the
world.
On the night of the gallery
exhibition, Conthan receives one of those letters…
Whispers from the past direct him to
visit Sarah, the subject of his paintings, who like many Children of
Nostradamus, is being detained in a government research facility. It’s there he
finds himself aligned with a rogue group of Children on a mission to prevent a
dark future.
As a dark future unfolds, there's
only one hope to stop the destruction of the world...
The Children of Nostradamus.

EXCERPT:
Conthan
Cowan,
As
you ponder the situation laid out in front of you, it is clear that things will
never be the same. Before you are many decisions, but alas, beyond this point I
cannot see nor predict your future.
You
are an element that seems to defy the strands of probability. I fear that
before you lies a path that will test the fortitude of your soul. I wish I
could give you more than a simple direction. I have done everything in my power
to see you safe to this point. I wish I could tell you that somewhere on the
other side of the darkness will be you, standing triumphant. However, I cannot.
For that, I am sorry. What I can do is start you on your hero’s journey.
Go
to Sarah.
With
Regards,
Eleanor
P. Valentine
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I’m high school graphic
design and marketing teacher, at a large suburban high school in Massachusetts.
Working as a high school educator and observing the outlandish world of
adolescence was the inspiration for my first young adult novel, “Suburban
Zombie High.”
My inspiration for writing
stems from being a youth who struggled with reading in school. While I found
school assigned novels incredibly difficult to digest, I devoured comics and
later fantasy novels. Their influences can be seen in the tall tales I spin.
I took the long route to
becoming a writer. For a brief time, I majored in Creative Writing but
exchanged one passion for another as I switched to Art and Design. My passion for reading about
superheroes, fantastical worlds, and panic-stricken situations would become the
foundation of my writing career.
I participated in my first
NaNoWriMo in 2006 and continue to write an entire novel every November. Now I
am the NaNoWriMo Municipal Liaison to the Massachusetts Metrowest Region. I
also belong the New England Horror Writer’s Association and to a weekly writing
group, the Metrowest Writers.

ReplyDeleteDo you meet your readers at book signings, conventions, or similar events?
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! Mai T, yes I definitely do meet readers at events. I did my first comic con a couple of weeks ago and it was a great event. I got to meet lots of readers and talk about geek stuff. I'll definitely be doing more of those in the future. I think it's a great way to connect to readers who share similar interests!
ReplyDeleteAny advice for first-time comic con attendees?

ReplyDeleteBring lots of Purell! I'm still getting over the sickness I got from the last con two weeks ago! It's death, I swear. Otherwise, stop and talk to people, they're there to meet you. The more you chat with them, the more they open up. And the vendors are almost always happy to chat with fans!
