Knighthawke
Good Things are happening. Thanks for your support.
The booksigning at The Commons was a great success. The Commons is a beautiful Bed and Breakfast, Wine Bistro, Restaurant, and more. Jeni Hodge, the owner of The Commons, had a room set up for me right by the front door. The Commons is a local gathering spot for the Who's Who of Murfreesboro. All day long people stopped by to mingle, have a meal, drink wine, and to view my book. I sold a lot of books but more importantly made some great new friends. Jeni now has signed copies of Knighthawke on hand for anyone who missed the event.
The World Of Knighthawke
KNIGHTHAWKE is a blend of suspense, action, adventure, mystery, humor, history, romance and science fiction. The time period is 1952 - 1975. It is the first in a three book series.
KNIGHTHAWKE is the Special Ops code name for Michael Walker, a reluctant hero who only wanted to live a normal life. He grew up believing that he was the son of Jake and Lisa Webber, abandoned as a baby in the back seat of a car when Lisa was killed during a bank robbery. In reality they had abducted him from his parents and twin sister Michelle, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
His search for family led him into the Air Force after leaving his foster home in the deep South. In California he located someone who had once known Jake and Lisa. He was surprised to learn that Lisa could not have children.
Confused and frustrated he returned to his home base in New Mexico where an accident, involving a satellite nearly took his life. The satellite contained an alien organism which made its way into his bloodstream, causing him to heal rapidly and enhancing his natural abilities. Thus Michael’s life was changed and KNGHTHAWKE was born.
At that point his life became anything but normal. The Pentagon classified him as top secret. He felt out of control of his own life. Scientists wanted to study him. The military wanted to use him as a secret weapon in the Vietnam and Cold Wars. The Soviets wanted his blood. Michael just wanted to learn his true identity, while his family was frustrated in their efforts to find him.
The final chapter ends in a cliffhanger that will leave the readers mouth watering for the sequel. The characters have been written in such a way that the reader will experience their joys and sorrows, successes and failures. Lisa Webber is portrayed as a victim, more than a villain. At her death the reader will feel sympathy even though her crimes were unforgivable. That is an example of the paradoxes that weave their way through the entire book. Michael is neither a super hero nor a super soldier. He is an ordinary guy who deal’s with extraordinary circumstances. His reaction to his newfound abilities is first denial, then regret, and finally acceptance. Through the trials, tribulations, and joys of his journey of self discovery he remains a humble man.
The book is full of coincidence and close calls. The police almost catch Jake; the Walker family almost finds Michael. Seemingly insignificant details turn up later in the story. The reader will often say, “I didn’t see that coming.” KNIGHTHAWKE is a story that will keep readers spellbound from beginning to end!
