When Hearts Cry

by April M. Reign, Kenny S. Rich

In the Year 2120, Earth is on the brink of self-destruction,
Plagued by radical climate change and destabilizing global warming,
Amid the chaos, one secret society seeks to control the elements.

My name is Geneva. The Elitists, a shadow organization of the world's most brilliant scientists, have enlisted me to retrieve two of the four Element Keys--ancient artifacts believed to contain the raw power of Earth's elements--earth, water, air, and fire. However, my biggest fear is that if the Element Keys are real, and by some miracle we acquire them, we could cause incalculable damage on an unprecedented scale.

My name is Ayo. The Elitists have enlisted me to retrieve the other two Element Keys but, like Geneva, I fear that if the Elitists attempt to control Mother Nature, we could end up destroying not only the planet but the entire solar system we have each sworn an oath to preserve.

Will our daring quest result in humanity gaining the power to save our planet from impending doom, or will using science to play God unleash an even greater threat?

About the author

April M. Reign was born and raised in Southern California by her happily married parents. She is the oldest of three daughters and considers both of her sisters to be her best friends.

Growing up, she was involved in many sports: softball, surfing, tennis, and Kenpo karate. Many weekends at the beach with her family included her father packing up the long boards and teaching all three daughters how to ride a wave. The activity that stands out the most for her is the thirteen years that she spent studying karate with her family. The family’s karate days remain as some of her fondest memories.

Sports weren’t the only activities that she enjoyed. She played the accordion for twelve years and even played for Jerry Lewis kids fundraisers. During those years, she learned how to read and write music.

Besides writing music, during her high school years, she also discovered her passion for writing words. At fifteen, she began writing poetry. By the time she reached the age of twenty, she was writing short stories, with no other intention than to get the stories from her mind to paper.

At twenty-one years old, she married and shortly after, two handsome sons graced her life. When her marriage ended, she faced the long, difficult path of raising her two boys into strong, well-mannered young men. She took on the task with fervor.

In order to support her children, she worked as a litigation analyst for ten years at a large company and began to pursue a career in law. After long hours in college and even more hours at the law library, while still raising her children alone, she realized that practicing law was not the dream that she wanted to live. She spent the next eleven years as a U.S. Customs Broker, working directly with the FDA and FWS, clearing international shipments into the country.

While she worked full time and raised two adolescent boys, she also decided to follow her dream to write a book. A year later, Enticing the Moon was published. Since then, she has written six more novels and several short stories, and has entered many writing contests, winning first place on several occasions.

As an indie author, April M. Reign writes and publishes her own books. With the increase in her book sales, she was able to give up her job in the corporate world and pursue her dream of writing stories which she hopes capture the attention and intrigue of her readers.

Readers can find April M. Reign’s eBooks on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and more online retailers. The books are also available in print at Lulu.com.
