UPDATE: The story will only be available until 3/31 for download. Thanks to all who have already downloaded/read it!

If anyone is interested, I had a FREE short story come out a couple of weeks ago. Here's the link:
http://www.amberquill.com/store/p/2279-Levitation-The-Story-Of-Rollins.aspx

If you read it, please let me know what you think! You can download it on an e-reader or as a PDF onto your computer.

Synopsis: In the sector of Sol, it is illegal to perform a telekinetic act in public. The government calls these individuals “Teles” and they are a menace to the people, at least that’s what fifteen-year-old Nicholas McCready has always been taught. But what does Nicholas do when he discovers that someone close to him could be a Tele?

Living in a world where drones rule the streets and air, Nic begins to uncover an unimaginable secret about his older brother, Rollins. A few months back, Rollins was spotted entering a rundown warehouse, nicknamed Hell’s Warehouse by the locals, and ever since then he has been acting really strange at home.

When a mysterious message pops up on his older brother’s Receiver, Nic sets out on a quest, secretively following Rollins to the warehouse only to discover something beyond believable, leaving him with more unanswered questions than when he arrived. Will Nic side with the government or his own flesh and blood? The fate of Rollins’s life is now in Nic’s hands.

NOTE: Levitation: The Story of Rollins is a prologue to the upcoming Young Adult novel, Levitation.

    Tried to get this. The stupid registration was giving me a hard time everytime I hit enter. I am assuming you did the art work too. Love how you tied in the red star. I'll try to download it again.
    Oh please let it rain today.

    Thank you! I didn't do the artwork, but a friend of mine came up with the design. I then passed it onto the publisher and they made some minor changes to it. Any luck on getting the story?
