About

I'm the author of In Blackness, The Flesh Statue and the short story book Guidelines for Rejects. Let's not forget I'm a native of Long Beach, California where I run an after-school program. Like most of everyone I've been writing for most of my thirty-six years of living. In case you're wondering, I like most music as long as it's eccentric. I also like long walks on the beach and dinner by candle light. You can keep updated by stopping by ulharper.com or ulharper.com/blog

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

Lenny and Saline’s parents brought them to Southern California to escape the nightmares. But after their parents die in a horrible car accident, their adoption by longtime family friend Busek proves nightmarish in its own right. Busek is abusive to his son, Dustin, and does very little to hold the young family together. The trio of kids become friends and grow up together, though as teens the emotional aftermath of Saline and Lenny’s parents’ death lingers and eventually catapults Lenny and Saline on individual journeys back to their old town in Washington. But is it childhood memories that draw them there or something that nightmares are made of? Meanwhile, Dustin stays back in Southern California and meets a group of youth who stumble upon the cities’ plan to replace the library with a jail. In the process of this discovery they learn of one of the biggest secrets society has ever kept, a secret waiting for them underground, in blackness.
