Dear
Agent Person,
Varick withdrew to silent southern
South Dakota to discern the mysteries of his dreams. He doesn’t know he is on a
murderous errand for a local tribe. Mia crashes, literally, into his life, and
he starts to wonder if it really was by chance. But, to hell with it, he
finally has some purpose.
Together, they drive west. Mia spends
most of her time asleep in the cab of Varick's old pick-up. It is there that
she can communicate with her parasite, Amelia. Amelia traveled through a water
portal into Mia’s mind and is controlling and pervading Mia through her
memories. Mia must keep herself separate from Amelia while becoming obsessed
with protecting the memory of a lost child.
As Amelia fully forms within Mia’s mind, the journey is laid out before her.
Mia fears what will happen once they reach the sacred Cathedral Spires, but
going there is the only way to rid herself of Amelia. While the trio near the
Black Hills, the Chief waits for his revenge against his own soil and takes
charge against Varick to prevent him from fulfilling his mission.
Please consider my novel, Water
and Stone. It is complete at 92,000 words. This novel should appeal to
those who enjoy sci-fi works like those of Margaret Atwood and the
psychological horror of Stephen King.
The first chapter of Water
and Stone was chosen for awards for the Agnes Hyde writing contest, and it
was published in the Spring 2014 edition of the literary journal Prairie Winds.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind
Regards,
Amber
