In the middle of the Atlantic, a doorway opens. Through this doorway is an island only explored by those still trapped here. Thirteen-year-old Annabelle Cross can't explain where the island came from. She does know it's the only haven after her boat is destroyed. She isn't alone here. Imprisoned children show her how to overcome the island's unusual trials and the sinister creatures determined at capturing them. Nothing here is what it seems. There are mysterious lights at the bottom of the lake and a dark palace deep in the woods. A pirate-like green ship guards the island's borders, allowing no one to escape. And shadows with teeth stalk the children by night, taking them to places unknown. It's only the beginning of the incredible strangeness the island offers. Annabelle finds a promise of returning home when she's shown what the children have hidden deep in the island. It's a project built on hope and the only plan to set them free. But when a spy reveals their secret, the moment arrives to escape, only to face the island's controlling force, a wickedness as old as time. A doorway opens, and a fantastic journey awaits inside for those daring enough to walk through...
Autorenporträt
I was born in 1974 in Omaha, NE. I have since uprooted my life there and have moved with my wife to the beautiful country hills of Arkansas. I took a love of reading and telling stories at an early age. I strongly believe in most of the writing advice I've learned from teachers and self-help writing books. Here is where I disagree. I've been told by many to "write what you know!'". That's all well and good if you know a lot. However, for some of us, our knowledge is running a very short race, probably with a mental "bad knee" that makes us run more in circles instead of a straight line. So I usually choose to write about what I don't know. How else do we learn new things if we never explore the dark unknown corners of existence? I have also chosen to resist all urges to be pigeon-holed as a single genre writer. I love reading different types of novels just as I love writing them. How else can we evolve if we're typing away day after day about a private investigator who has a soft spot for pretty girls in short skirts, following his own rules, and dependency on whiskey? Fifty novels later has our protagonist really learned much? Grown? Or changed by any fascinating degree? Probably not. So I explore because it's what we humans do best. I write in the range of mystery, fantasy, thrillers, dramas, sci-fi, action/adventure, comedy, mainstream, satire and anything else that might seem challenging enough. Basically, if the plot idea has strong legs, the characters a great purpose, then the idea deserves to be written. Although I will tell you to never expect a Danielle Steel or Nicolas Sparks type novels from me. I've got to draw a line somewhere! So the rundown is simple if you're expecting to find my work nicely bundled up in one genre because it's the genre you're most comfortable traveling those pages, then I'm not likely an author for you. But, if you want to go on a fun road trip and see those odd side attractions everybody else misses because they're too busy catching the same old (yawn, yawn) attractions thirty million other people have seen, then I am an author for you.
