What does an unassuming guy do when his home is attacked, destroyed in a massive fireball, and his wife kidnapped?
What does that guy do when the FBI shows up and hauls him off to a secret briefing that changes his entire life and sends him half way around the world to a war zone?
What does that same guy do when he’s tied up, beaten, shot at and chased all over New York by people he doesn’t even know, for reasons he can’t even understand?
If he’s Chris Johnson, he fights back – any way he can, with any help he can get.
This is the story of one man and his painful fight to find the elusive truth, and find his elusive wife, without getting killed in the process.
And, if necessary, kill anyone who gets in his way.
But the truth is a harsh mistress.
At six months old, Thomas speaks in sentences.
At one year old, he figures out how to stop his runny nose by shutting down his secretion glands.
At two, he can tell when a cold is coming and head it off with the exact dose necessary of vitamin C.
At three, he startles his parents with the memory of his birth.
At four, Thomas discovers Crichton and Cornwell, and asks for medical texts for his birthday.
At five, Thomas regulates his autonomic nervous system when he is anxious or frightened. He puts himself into a stupor several times before he figures out the proper balance for his body.
At six, he discovers he can heal wounds by producing platelets and deliberately growing new skin cells. He calls up adrenaline and floods his body with it to win a race. He grows his hair back when his mom insists on a dreaded buzz cut that makes his ears stand out like flags waving in a breeze.
But being able to control his entire body can't help Thomas with everything. It can't help his mom, who dies in a car crash two days before his dad is redeployed in the Navy. It can't help him connect with his grandma, who he's met twice in his life and comes to stay with him after the accident. It can't help him make friends.
Though he has the intellect of a man, Thomas has the yearnings of a six-year-old boy to bring his mother back to life. He has the power, but it's trapped inside his own body. NERVOUS SYSTEM is a novel about how far we will go to get what we want, and just because we can, doesn't always mean we should.
"A young man battling with severe depression, loss of memory and gradual onset of madness races to find a stolen magical clock and reset time to save humanity from an evil power. Trapped in his own crazed visions, the line between reality and dreams is gradually blurred, leaving him struggling to overcome an adverse battle for identity, perception and restoration of sanity."
Division Clock is a surreal insight into the workings of the mind of a protagonist who has lost all hope. If you are looking for something deep, dark and imaginative, then this story is for you. If you prefer to read something that questions all your assumptions of how and where you expect a story to lead you, this is for you. The writing aims to reflect the kaleidoscopic stream of thoughts of a person lost in their own melancholia, bordering on downright insanity.
Warning from the author: If you are looking for a book that aims to only entertain, this might not be a book for you. If you are looking for a critical insight into the mind of a person suffering from depression, then this is for you. There is no standard plot formula and no predictability, there is only a surreal and ink-like mental representation of the memories, feelings and beliefs that drive a person’s suffering and hold back their acceptance of their life, self-image and search for love. I can only offer a glimpse into the darkness of a person’s profound melancholia. What you make of it is entirely up to you. Here there is no hope, there is no logic, there is only a deep, dark abyss.
Will a violent sociopath destroy their happily ever after?
Abused by her volatile ex-husband, Lake has found solace in her work with champion Arabian horses. When she finds out a date with her longtime crush is one of the items up for bid at a charity auction, she once again takes an interest in the two-legged species as well.
The betrayal and public humiliation retired National Hockey League player Josh Adams suffered at the hands of his ex-wife scarred him deeply. Now he's only interested in superficial flings...until he connects with Lake at the charity event. She has depth of character and values he holds dear but getting involved with her could cost him everything.
Can two scarred people, perfect for each other, overcome their broken hearts and find the love and happiness they deserve? Or will Lake's past, and a madman bent on revenge, put an end to their promising future?

Closing The Gap contains scenes that are intended for mature audiences only.
The day I went with my soon-to-be stepmother to pick up her son from rehab was the day my entire life changed. Luke wasn’t an alcoholic. He wasn’t a junkie.
He was a former sex addict who was coming to stay with us for a few months while he got back on his feet.
He looked like a rock star. Tattoos, piercings, ripped muscles, and an 'I-don't-give-a-crap' sense of style. He was gorgeous.
He might have broken his addiction in rehab, but the intensity of his gaze told me otherwise. He looked at me like he was on death row and I was his personal choice of a last meal.
I wanted him badly. Badly enough to set up a devious plan to reawaken his hunger.
The plan worked, but not without consequences.
The outbreak began in New York. Soon it had spread to the rest of the world. People were attacked, infected and they died. Then they came back. Nowhere is safe from the undead.
As anarchy and civil war took grip across the globe, Britain was quarantined. The press was nationalised. Martial law, curfews and rationing were implemented. It wasn’t enough. An evacuation was planned. The inland towns and cities of the UK would be evacuated to defensive enclaves being built around the coast, in the Scottish Highlands and in the Irish Republic.
Bill Wright broke his leg on the day of the outbreak. Unable to join the evacuation, he watched from his window as the streets filled with refugees, he watched as the streets emptied once more. He watched as they filled up again, this time with the undead. Then the power went out.
He is trapped. He is alone. He is running out of food and water. He knows that to reach the safety of the enclaves he will have to venture out into the wasteland that once was England. On that journey he will ultimately discover the horrific truth about the outbreak, a decades old conspiracy and his unwitting part in it.
This is the first volume of his journal.
Hidden in a dream world, children become manifestations of their own imagination, battling each other upon the astral sands of the colosseum. The shadowy organisation known only as the ‘Associates’, choose the children who clash within the arena to aid their own agenda in the real world.
Wesley Finton is chosen! Not by the Associates, but the sinister darkness that lurks at the edges of our sleep. Fighting within the colosseum, Wesley discovers a power dwelling deep inside him and a plot to exploit the children by this faceless organisation.
Wesley needs to find the truth, before the Associates find him….
This story is a present-day twist on the biblical story of Jacob and his mother Rebecca plotting together against the elderly father Isaac, who is lying on his deathbed, in order to get their hands on the inheritance, and on the power in the family. This is no old fairy tale. Its power is here and now, in each one of us.
Listening to Yankle telling his take on events, we understand the bitter rivalry between him and his brother. We become intimately engaged with every detail of the plot, and every shade of emotion in these flawed, yet fascinating characters. He yearns to become his father's favorite son, seeing only one way open to him: deceit.
In planning his deception, it is not love for his father, nor respect for his age that drives his hesitation--rather, it is the fear to be found out. And so--covering his arm with the hide of a kid, pretending to be that which he is not--he is now ready for the last moment he is going to have with his father.
I was never supposed to be a rock star. I had my life all planned out for me. Play football in college. Go to the NFL. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after.
I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I’ve poured my soul into my music, but I’ve never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile.
And now I’m going back.
After ten years.
I hope I can explain that after all this time.
I still want her to be my forever girl.
