New Alpha Rising: Ascension Part I
Description
<p>Countless years ago, measured in thousands, the Gods came first. Monstrous creations were born of their frivolity. Like the Gods, some of the creations were peaceful, others not. Their duty to preserve the earth completed once more, however, the day came that the Gods had to leave earth. Unleashed and with loose regulation, the abominable creations left behind multiplied. In their midst, another conception came to be, and his kind would exist absolutely outside of the God’s purview.<br />Unmated, alone, and untrusting of others, Chatran was charged to go to a place and protect the father of a great child, yet unborn. This duty, however, was unknown to the most cognizant part of Chatran. Only the Beast, who resided within him, knew. As a result, the Beast led Chatran to Walhalla, North Dakota. Although his initial charge was to protect the father he found there, Chatran also gained a mate and Pack. With them, Chatran also found a new way forward, and started on a course that would lead to – New Alpha Rising: Ascension.</p>
Story Behind The Book
It started with a dream. A nightmare, really.
One night in March I had trouble getting to sleep. Tired as I was, every moment of near slumber was snatched away from me by a jolt of adrenaline and racing, incoherent thoughts. My restless legs soon joined in, turning the day’s swan song into a dance as well. It was then that I reached for the medication and finally fell asleep.
When I awoke, it was from a vivid nightmare. I can’t tell you now what it was about, but at that moment I perceived it as an entire novel. I knew not only what had happened, but just how I felt about it too. It was as though it had actually happened to me.
I flew out of bed and began writing, skipping both the bathroom and my breakfast smoothie, the usual first steps to my morning routine. I wrote and wrote and am still writing. I see the whole story. I know the characters. I’m one of them.
Reviews
<strong></strong> <a href="http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/MariaSavva">Maria Savva</a>, author of Second Chances, says :
<p><em>5 out of 5 stars — I was hooked on this story from the start. I
find the way it was written fascinating. The author literally dreamt
this book, and then wrote it all out from his memory, without editing
it. It’s just perfect as it is! I heard about Marty Beaudet’s
experimental writing and, although curious, I didn’t have time to go
and read the serial as it was developing online. I finally found time
to visit the blog and read the free online version when the author had
already written 16 chapters. I read the whole thing in one sitting
because it was that gripping!</em></p>
<p><em>Losing Addison is a psychological thriller exploring
schizophrenia and the unexplained bond between twins. It’s a story that
will have you glued to the page. The suspense is well constructed and
made me want to continue reading until I found out what was happening.
The story unravels bit by bit, slowly revealing the reasons behind
the characters’ behaviour. Beaudet drip feeds the information in the
most effective way, with flashback scenes and high drama. A
wonderfully entertaining story. I’d recommend it to everyone who likes
a good suspenseful thriller.</em></p>
<p><cite><a href="http://www.brownbrushbooks.com/">Joel Kirkpatrick</a></cite>, author of Breathing Into Stone says:</p>
<p><em>So chilling. There are so many possibilities brought to life by
this story. The one that just haunts me – this is NOT an insanity.
Written directly as a paranormal, to force that response, it might have
lacked the power it has. ‘Losing Addison’ is a wide-open doorway, with
terrible monsters in the darkness beyond. Name your accolades, Sir,
you have earned a basket full.</em></p><a title="Smashwords edition" href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/50400"></a>
