GUEST POST
I wrote my first novel in high school. And, amazingly, I did it pretty much longhand. I think I filled several spiral notebooks. It was entitled In a World Once Written, and I was very, very proud of it. In truth, it was really more of a learning experience. As I look back at that experience, I remember how arrogant I was as a writer. I remember thinking: Why bother reading other people’s works? I’m a writer. I just need to write. And I already have my style. That’s not going to change. Yeah, right! As I think back to the young man saying that, I want to smack some sense into him. I had so much to learn and I had barely discovered my own voice at that point. I wish I would have read more during those years and taken a more teachable approach to my own writing. As I’ve told many people over the years, the best way to become a better writer is to be a better reader. My younger daughter is an amazing writer. She just finished a story that is one hundred pages single spaced. And she’s only in Middle School! I constantly tell her not to make the same mistake that I did with my writing when I was young. Read, read, read! And be teachable!

Trapped on Naples Island, Eddie Dees does everything he can to hold his family together. A supernatural storm is feeding on people’s fear and paranoia. The more people turn on each other, the stronger it becomes.
Believing there are small, systematic breaks in the storm, he plans to make his way off the island with as many residents as possible. But he must first deal with the crazed gunman roaming the streets as well as another growing threat: Klutch, a violent army vet suffering PTSD, has recruited a band of followers who believe the storm is a weaponized weather experiment gone awry. Klutch plans on stopping anyone from leaving the island, and one of his followers is Eddie’s own teenage son.
