Jeremy Hicks

About

One of the chosen few to be born in Alabam', Jeremy Hicks spent several years working as a field archaeologist throughout the Southeast before teaming up with his longtime friend and co-author, Barry Hayes, to realize a shared creative dream.

The writing team of Hicks & Hayes created an original horror-fantasy environment (Faltyr™), wrote a screenplay (The Cycle of Ages Saga: Finders Keepers) to introduce it, and then adapted it into a novelization of the same name. As a result, their first novel was published by Dark Oak Press in August 2013.

 

As co-founder of Broke Guys Productions, Jeremy has co-written three other screenplays that have yet to be produced, including the first sequel to CoAS: Finders Keepers.  Another of his scripts, Night of the Living Rednecks, a darkly comedic horror tale about meth zombies plaguing a trailer park in Alabama, placed as a Top Finalist in the 2011 Cherub Films Horror Screenplay Competition.

 

Jeremy Hicks is also a poet and short story writer.  Three of his poems are available online via Yahoo! Voices and two of his short stories will be appearing in Dark Oak anthologies in late 2013 (Capes & Clockwork; Luna's Children).

Description

<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

It is complex and intricate with just enough detail to become alive and just enough left untold to allow the workings of the imagination. When removing a reader to another world, it is incumbent on the creator to infuse the new place with geography, history, culture, conflict, mystery, and mythology, and then provide a few compelling characters to make sense of it all. These authors have accomplished this, carefully weaving vibrant threads of religious philosophies, interracial tensions, local histories and yet more into the fabric of their world. And added to this, they have delivered a gripping adventure.&quot;</span><br style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /><br style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.onlinebookclub.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D21%26t%3D15190&amp;h=DAQGaFhjNAQEsHdOqk3zUkmQhyH1Ix8RWOyJaMvHM0l9qiA&amp;s=1" style="color:rgb(59,89,152);font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">http://forums.onlinebookclub.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&amp;t=15190</a></p> <p> </p>
