“The
lives of a man are measured in his dreams.” That quote is from my new romance
story Wind. More than just a romantic
notion, what we dream, awake as well as asleep, says much about the person. Or,
as Edgar Allen Poe put it: “They who dream by day are cognizant of many things
which escape those who dream only by night.” (Eleonora) I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with a
wonderful dreamer, KJ McPike. Besides being able to call KJ, or Kelly my
friend, it was my honor to help edit her first novel. Xodus is first in the Astralis series of books. In this thrilling
initial installment, young Lali discovers she is capable of astral projection.
Soon, with the assistance of a strange new acquaintance, the teen is off on an exciting
and perilous journey to find her long lost mother.
KJ
has crafted an original and thought provoking first effort with the skill of a
veteran writer. With well fleshed characters, believable action and thought
provoking twists, she manages to keep the plot moving and the pages turning. At
story’s conclusion, readers are left fully satisfied yet wanting more. And book
two is well in the works. While labeled YA, or Young Adult Fiction, Xodus will appeal to a wide range of
readers, young to old, of all genres.
Xodus
by KJ McPike is rated PG-13 and is published by Terracotta Rose Publishing, and
is available through Amazon and book stores everywhere. For more information on
Xodus, the Astralis Series and KJ
