Novel Release – Disappearances

By luke bergeron 7 April 2010 2 Comments

Here it is, folks, the product of years of labor – my first novel: Disappearances.

Disappearances tells the story of a young man mentally disconnected. Early one morning he’s awoken from a restless sleep by a plane crash outside his apartment window. Rushing down to the scene, the young man is unable to find anyone – no people, no rescue workers, no survivors. He is alone. Everyone he loves, everyone else on the planet as far as he knows, has disappeared.

The young man sets off on a journey through the deserted landscape of America and his own memories that taxes him both physically and mentally. After months of searching, the young man finally finds one man, a grizzled old guide named Frank. It is with Frank, sitting by a fireside in an Arizona canyon, that the true test begins.

Frank’s task is to listen to the young man’s story, help him discover the secrets behind the disappearance of everyone he loves, and most importantly, to reconnect the young man with the rest of the human race. But before the young man can do that, he needs to learn the most important lessons about himself, his father, and how to move forward with his life.

Please help me support digital self-published books by helping me spread this around the internet. The book is freely available from my site, from Scribd, or Feedbooks.

I’m also considering Smash Words – not because I want to make money on this (though I wouldn’t mind), but to reach an audience outside the typical self-publishing sites. That’s something for another day, however. Preparing this for publication is the reason behind my long absence on this blog and it wore me out. I want to get back to business as usual before taking another step like that.

Thanks for reading! I hope you like the book!

    Just reading the first 30 pages of DISAPPEARANCES.

    Yes, I have met Frank. Great character.

    (I have also remembered the protagonist is Leo and I’m liking the before and Arizona scenes. Nice and short!)

    Downloaded it so it can be easy to read.
