I have had this book in the works for a long while but it felt like this was the perfect time to release my novel. It's a great time to be an author and I couldn't wait any more to grab the amazing opportunity we writers have at the moment.
On Friday April 5th, I will be officially releasing The Coming Cataclysm but is available for pre-order right now. I have it in an E-Book format only but do have plans for a physical release if there is even a small demand for it.
I'm going to be on air as much as possible in the next few days trying to let people know about this and would really appreciate the chance to be a guest on any Steemit based podcast so I can spread the word and talk about writing in general. Please let me know if there is a group or channel out here that would be available ;), I'll bring my experience in broadcasting and some decent equipment to your show and have some fun.
Thanks again everyone, any support right now would be extremely helpful and I promise I won't forget the favor.
Here is what will be on the back of the jacket, hope you like it.
It is said that in the beginning, all of our separate societies were once one great civilization blessed by all the powers of the Creator. These divine Gifts made for a paradise but inevitably vanity overcame those who had learned to channel the diving power and desperate kingdoms formed out of what was a great collective.
Those who lusted for control elevated themselves over all others and used the Gift to crush their peers so that there was no opposition to their plans to dominate those with less mastery over the powers. Soon wars so terrible and deadly began that it threatened to destroy every soul and even the land itself.
Before all of the work the Creator was lost and the world was consumed, the Divine One choose to save us. When the fires were at their worst, a new covenant was offered to the warlords to prevent the outright devastation of our world. The Kings were taken off this plane of existence and brought before our God
Each of the leaders were offered the choice of one region and the use of only one aspect of the Creators Gift in order to prevent them from becoming all powerful again. Outside of time in the plane above, a deal was reached and the cataclysm ended.
A wall of light was made that stretched from ground to the sky in the hope that it would keep jealousy and avarice from taking over once more.
All of the common people were brought to the country of their leaders within a blink of an eye and were told of their fate. Some were overcome by despair at the loss of the aspects Gift that were surrendered during their lord's negotiations, but most were able to survive and adapt to the new order of the world.
An age of peace and resurgence in cities did come to us then. For centuries the Creator's powers were used to build and prosperity became achievable for all. Like all things though, this was not to last forever.
The Great Leaders became founders of great families and horded wealth in the form of resources and knowledge of the Gift as well as the history of how things came to be. Through this power they have consolidated control and society has become stagnant so much so that life for us common people became miserable once more. The divine wall, despite the beauty of it's shimmer, was no longer seen by most as a symbol of safety and protection but a never ending reminder of how we are trapped in the service of an unloving lord.
Generations of secrets, lies and outright propaganda have muddle the history and hidden the truth but our spirits will not be crushed forever. There are those who work hard to keep the knowledge in the hands of us at the bottom of society so that even if the great families are betrayed and usurped, lost to time, keeping the truth clandestine or ruling with an iron fist, there would still be a way to free the world and set things right.
No one knows what will happen when the shimmering walls come down but we do know they must. There is no amount of oppression or lies that will prevent the change that is inevitable. One thing is very clear however, nothing will keep us safe from The Coming Cataclysm.
