Story Behind The Book
"Premonition" was made real to me thirteen years prior to writing the novel. Everyone I shared the story with sold me on the fact it would make a great movie. It didn't take long to realize it needed to be done in a three part series. The script was written years ago, but the project was placed on hold. Changes were taking place within the movie industry much like they are today in the book industry. Technical advancements and time constraints delayed it going into production, but it gave me time to craft the entire trilogy. Get my "Premonition" and you'll have the first part of the story. Hayden Keller is soon to become a household name.
