The Wind and The Flame

A/N

Hey guys! So my novel that I've worked on since 2013 has finally been published. I'm really excited about it.

Okay thats my first lie. I'm kinda mute about it so far. It hasn't sunk in yet. You know that feeling when you've been looking forward to something your whole life and then it finally happens and it isn't how you thought it was gonna be or the feeling of it you were going for hasn't sunk in or wont?

Thats how I'm feeling pretty much. I have several fears regarding this experience.
What if no one buys it?
What if people buy it and don't like it?
What if someone tries to steal it and claim it as theirs?
What if I find myself unmotivated to continue?
What if it flops and destroys my life plan of being an author?

Yeah I'm not exactly known to be a optimist... In fact during the weeks building up to its release, I was cautiously optimistic about life. Everything had been going good. I had my book soon to be published, I had my advanced screening tickets to Avengers: Infinity War, I had just cinched an interview for a job(so I thought) and I was happy.

Then a week later I found out I didn't get the job it killed all my motivation and optimism. It was with begrudging pessimism that I finished everything with my book and shoutout to GravityGlitches for doing the cover of my book! It's amazing.

This is Gravity's picture of my main character Thalen Cooper. I'll tell you some stuff about him. He's an orphan at a school for gifted orphans. He's practically a savant(someone who's naturally gifted/intelligent) He doesn't know anything about himself other than his name and age. He's 14 at the time. In the story he dies and soon finds himself in the afterlife. Wanting to avoid his death, he makes a deal with a kayorne spirit to become one himself. A kayorne is a supernatural entity of energy and power that has wings, the ability to control an element and more. He blindly agrees to become one just to avoid his fate. In doing so he threatens not only our world, but also other worlds which are discovered.

This is the official description I think it sucks personally I probably should've had someone else write it maybe AnnabethJackson0000 would be willing to help me with the future sequel.

Thalen Cooper hates his life. Left alone at a school for the gifted at a young age, with no one to care about him except his best friend Tyler and his school crush Jamie. He sees life as pointless and meaningless. However, when his life suddenly ends, he must come to terms with the newfound knowledge that life as he knows it isn't that simple. Thalen is given a second chance to have a new outlook on life when he becomes a Kayorne spirit. He soon becomes able to fly, have supernatural abilities and much more. Together with Tyler, Jamie and some new friends from new worlds, he searches for a way to return to his life and avoid the darkness that's slowly seeking to take control of his destiny.

So yeah. This is what the Amazon specs look like.

I'm also considering creating shirts for my series based on the shirt Thalen is wearing on the cover design. Gravity made that design herself and I love the shirt so much I actually can picture myself wearing one.

This book is the first in the series of The Kayorne Scrolls: Its part of a sub series called Thalen. And its titled Gem Of Life. In the whole series there will be 13 books total. In the first sub series there's going to be 5 books. The second sub series will have 6 books and the last will have 2. This series is my life's work and functions as an allegorical version of my life story. So yeah.

Thanks for reading my chapter talking about my story! If you're actually interested in it (I don't know if anyone will be) the link is on my bio to find it.

Have a great day buddies!
