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>A tragic warrior lost in two worlds... Which one will he choose?</em></strong></p><p>The war in Iraq ended for Freddie when an IED explosion left his mind and body shattered. Once a skilled gamer as well as a capable soldier, he's now a broken warrior, emerging from a medically induced coma to discover he's inhabiting two separate realities.</p><p>The first is his waking world of pain, family trials, and remorse—and slow rehabilitation through the tender care of Becky, his physical therapist. The second is a dark fantasy realm of quests, demons, and magic, which Freddie enters when he sleeps. The lines soon blur for Freddie, not just caught between two worlds, but lost within himself.</p><p>Is he Lieutenant Freddie Williams, a leader of men, a proud officer in the US Army who has suffered such egregious injury and loss? Or is he Frederick, Prince of Stormwind, who must make sense of his horrific visions in order to save his embattled kingdom from the monstrous Horde, his only solace the beautiful gardener, Rebecca, whose gentle words calm the storms in his soul.</p><p>In the conscious world, the severely wounded vet faces a strangely similar and equally perilous mission to that of the prince—a journey along a dark road, haunted by demons of guilt and memory. Can he let patient, loving Becky into his damaged and shuttered heart? It may be his only way back from Hell.</p>

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>
