Writing Update: New story released

I've just published my latest e-book on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, a fantasy novella.

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008C4CQM6

Here's the blurb that accompanies the book.

Dangerous Highs is a 23,400 word novella.

This is an urban fantasy tale with a paranormal/supernatural twist to it. It deals with the Ultimate Gift, the ability to heal others—along with temporary immortality.

That description, however, only partially describes the story. There's also mystery, suspense and thriller aspects tossed into the mix, including a touch of romance.

The tale begins in the distant past, which is taken up by the first quarter of the book. This is where the groundwork for the storyline is established.

* A Master Healer walks the Earth.
* A young slave girl becomes his apprentice.
* He bequeaths her the Ultimate Gift.

The story then jumps to the present day, remaining there for the last three quarters of the book.

* A man stumbles upon the Ultimate Gift.
* He has no idea what he has found.
* His ignorance threatens his life.

Though the story is a fast paced action-packed adventure, it's also a thought provoking tale, a character study of the three people touched by the Ultimate Gift.
