The Bridge Beyond Her World (The Boy and the Beast Book 2) (36 page)

“Because,” said the girl, “we were directed to you by the gods, the Makers.” The girl looked up at the man. “Are you going to tell her what you see?”

He stared at the girl for a moment, then looked down at Savarah. “You have a spirit creature attached to you. It has become a part of what drives you. I thought I was supposed to remove it, but I feel pressed not to. Just know that it is there. Perhaps it will be removed by some other means. I hope it is. It’s not a pretty little creature. Do you experience many emotions?”

Savarah glared at him. “Hardly.”

“The monster will help you with that!” said the boy, grinning happily. “You’ll see. Just wait and see.”

“This woman is a killer,” said the girl whose hands held the powerful healing. Her eyes were not on Savarah, but on the man. “You were not directed to remove the spirit. It has a purpose to play. One of them is plain to me…she still has much killing to do.”

Dedication

To Raymond Morehouse, Chris Fik, Jeff Harry, Daniel Meers, Steve Martinez, and Trevor Garton, my long time friends. And to my brother, Justin, who saved my life.

Thanks

I would like to thank the entire Restoration Writer’s Group: especially Delaney Walnofer, Aimee Walnofer, and Sarah Christison. And also a thank you to my beta reading team, as well as Amanda Barr, Mike Lynch, J.W. Wartick and Crista Herr. And last but not least, my excellent editor, Holly Lorincz.

About me

I began writing stories when I was twelve (1993), the same year I read my first thrilling Michael Crichton book, Jurassic Park.

Fast forward ten years (2003), I started to get serious about writing. In the beginning I wrote mostly short stories and published some of these in sci-fi and fantasy magazines. When I turned to novel writing, I started out working with a co-author, and over the years, I’ve been traditionally published, and have had an agent, but as of 2016, I’ve gone rogue, and turned to self-publishing because of the freedom it gives me as a writer.

I am thrilled to focus my attention on writing and interacting with readers (I love it!). I respond to every email I receive, and am humbled to be where I am at in life, having battled (AML) Leukemia 2015 thru 2016.

I live in Southern California with my wife, Amanda, and our three boys. When not writing, I love to garden, hike, fish, play softball and baseball, backpack the Sierra Mountains and play board games. I do most of these activities with my wife and three sons. My family and I attend a small church which just so happens to be absolutely infested with wonderfully artistic members, who cheer each other on.

The most influential authors in my life are Michael Crichton, Ray Bradbury, C.S. Lewis, and Orson Scott Card.
