He'll do anything to get her back, including evolve. "The rabid, frothy pacing gripped my like the iron jaws of a junkyard dog and left me crying out for a literary tetanus shot! More please." When Jim Buckner's daughter is kidnapped, his obsession shifts from discovering the lost genetic sequence for awakening human immortality to discovering who took her and how to get her back. The journey reveals a hibernating side-effect of his research, telekinesis. At the heart of a secret war raging for over a century, Buckner discovers how far he'll go to get his daughter back--as far as it takes. A father-daughter story written as paranoid thriller, De Novo Syndrome centers on a father learning to dedicate his heart, rather than his work, to his daughter. The fact his life's work has been to save his daughter's life, complicates the matter. "I only smoke after sex and reading a really good book. This novel had me lighting up before I could set it down."

"It's unlike any paranormal book I've read--very smart, very fresh, and very addictive, and very still in my mind." –And Anything Bookish In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived. The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries. Isolated on a Montana mountainside, only Sadie, the rogue daughter, dares to abandon the family’s sacred hiding place. But no matter how far Sadie runs, something always pulls her back. On a muggy summer night in Tennessee, she witnesses a shocking scene that will change her life forever. It is the first in a sequence of events that will drag her from the human world she’s sought to belong to for over a century and send her back to her Puritanical family. Sadie is thrown toward an uncertain future filled with cunning witches, mysterious nosferatu shape-shifters, dangerous eretica and vieczy vampires, millennia-old mythology, and the search for her own mortality. After all… HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR? The Survivors will steal your heart and invade your mind. Fall into the pages of Sadie’s life, a world so frighteningly similar to your own, you’ll find yourself wanting to go to the Montana mountains to find the Survivors for yourself. And it is only the beginning. "The way Ms. Havard has taken the history of the Salem witches and made it her own is truly fascinating... great debut from a talented writer." –DJ DeSmyter, author of Hunted “[THE SURVIVORS is a…] promising debut and an incredibly unique paranormal romance. Unputdownable, engaging, realistic and dark..." –Fragments of Life Review Blog Can't wait to read the whole story?

"Why isn't there an electric shock when we touch?" I ask Quinton. He takes his eyes off the road momentarily, looking at me as if I'm going to disappear at any moment, like the little girl in the orchard or the one in oil paints with the crushed bouquet. "Do you ever think that our lives have been planned ahead of our existence?" I don't attempt to answer. If my life has been planned, I wonder what direction it's meant to take. -- Lina Towley is one of the ordained: brought back from the dead by government scientists who believe she has a purpose to fulfill on Earth. Living a half-existence until she discovers the purpose planned for her she has no recollection of her past life. Along comes Quinton who tells her she isn’t like the others and may be able to help reveal her past. Not only that but he offers her another, more dangerous purpose that puts at risk everything and everyone she holds dear. Forced with a choice between two purposes, one chosen by scientists and the other by a man she barely knows, which will she choose and does she have the power to make decisions for herself? One thing is for certain, the society she lives in isn’t everything it is made out to be, and the government is determined that no one should know that Lina and her fellow ordainees ever even existed.
