Add to basketPaperback. Hidden in plain sight for more than twenty million years, an artifact passes as an old magic trick people rarely pay attention to for more than five minutes. One week a year the entity within the artifact comes to life. During those seven days a newly appointed victim is put through trials designed to either better themselves or see them fail. It is a deadly game the entity plays for entertainment.During this reiteration of humanoids to walk the Earth, religion plays a huge role in daily life. People may not pray in the streets anymore, but in terms of history, religion is deeply embedded into daily life whether we modern humans understand it or not. As a result, this artifact has been accused of being an angel during his many interactions with mankind. Using religion as a vehicle, the angel presents himself as a figure of religious association to garner his next victim's trust. Make no mistake, the entity is not an angel.In the year 1976, Michael McDonald was chosen to become the next victim. But this year there's a catch. The entity inside needs a new host to interact with his yearly victims. His time is almost up. The bodies he absorbs last only 2000 years, this year is 1999. This particular year the angel needs something from Michael just as much as Michael needs something from the angel.As an orphan until the age of five, Michael has no memory of his time before he was adopted and is desperate to rediscover it. The angel promises to show Michael's past under the guise of being helpful, hoping to take him as a new symbiotic vehicle after fulfilling his end of the bargain. Each had an agenda. Each had power over the other. In a year where everything was on the line, would the entity last long enough to conscribe Michael for two thousand years or would he turn to dust before Michael understood his complicated history and disappear forever? This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

I am an individual that loves to show my creative side. I started to painting many years ago but found my eyes to be dimming. I instead turned my inner eye towards the story telling part of me. There I found an inexhaustible amount of things I would like to turn into a unique and exciting story. Fiction is where I excel.
I live in Maine where many other creative people have come to visit but never left. So many famous artists live here. I feel lucky to counted to be among them, other than the famous part just yet.
I am currently working on an exciting new book series call Joan Darcy and the 27th Observer. The first is written and will be available soon. It is titled, The Telescope of Elsewhere. The second is in the process of penned and this book is called the In the Eye of the Beholder. Watch closely, new things are happening.
