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 Jeremy Flagg
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.
