My fine friends, the novella is going to be a full-length novel! Here's the cover and summary for "Life after Death: The Aftermath of Hezekiah Chamblee."
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
On the day he graduated from high school, Hezekiah Chamblee was killed by his parents all because he wasn't meant to be a part of their American Dream and that he was a product of rape. Shortly after entering into the void between life and death, he is surprised to learn that he was not meant for heaven or hell and he wasn't meant to return to Earth. He is then sent to a simulated world known as "Nexus," where people like him were sent here and that they view an alternate timeline where they don't exist on Earth.
It is there that Hezekiah not only views a timeline where he doesn't exist but also meets other teenagers and young adults like him, reunites with a crush from his old life (they being close friends back then), encounters with a sly femme fatale with wicked intentions, and learns about his true origin by both God and Lucifer (the deities being brothers themselves). Meanwhile in the land of the living, word of his death would trigger a butterfly effect that would unleash scandals, change lives, and have one of Hezekiah's younger twin brothers expose the family secrets before the family would completely come to ruin. Follow this story alongside Hezekiah Chamblee as he undergoes dynamic paradigm shifts about himself while learning to finally use his voice as his family's forbidden desires would bring them to their downfall.
"What's done in the dark would soon be brought into the light. And what was said in whispers would be shouted loud from the rooftops."
****************************
The novel version will feature more-detailed backstories about Chance and Hezekiah, a detailed storyline, Cameron being utilized more often with his own storyline in play, more sensual moments, and so much more. And with me writing the novel for the Watty Awards, it's all the more reason to get this story out! This is going to be so much fun, folks, and I hope you'll stick around for what's coming up because the game is going to get more complex and detailed!
And NOW there's nothing else to say but thanks for reading this novella! So, thanks for reading this novella! It's been a blast writing it and it'll be a blast writing the novel version! And I can't wait to see how things will turn out! So if you like what you see, then show this writer some love and...
