Excerpt One:
Chapter 4 excerpt
Here we have two brothers who are being transported to their
new home. They are nervous and afraid.
Ness wasn’t sure of the correct answer, so he lied. Way he
saw it, he had a fifty/fifty shot of getting it right anyway. “Na, we aren’t
slaves Lucas. You think Ma would have let us get on this ship if that were the
case?”
The younger boy began to quietly weep. “I miss Mom,” he
reminded his older brother, just as he had the day before and the day before
that.
“Yea me too buddy, but we will see her soon.” Ness lied once
more.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
My name is
Kevin Laymon. My passions are space exploration, music, sailing, snowboarding,
wildlife, and of course writing. I have been writing for some time but the
focus has been primarily on short stories and dark poems strictly for personal
use. Future Winds is the first of a handful of novels I am working on for
publication. I grew up in upstate New York and have lived up and down the east
coast. New York is a location that holds a very special place in my heart.
After working a wide range of jobs that I hated for far too long, Sara my
significant other, and I decided earlier in 2015 to make some dramatic changes
and travel. We scraped together some cash, I quit my job, and we moved to
Albuquerque, New Mexico where we live a libertarian life as vegetarians. We
share our desertscape living quarters with an aquatic turtle named Taz and a
rabbit named BunBear. On October 9th 2015 Sara & I got married in Las
Vegas, Nevada. The sunshine in New Mexico has helped immensely in illuminating
a greater perspective as to who I am and what I was placed on this planet to
do; that is to teach and inspire. I have a hunger to awaken humanity so that we
may break away from our programed way of thinking. Our minds are powerful and I
encourage everyone to open them up, exercise them, and tap into the potential I
know every living man woman and child has. Though my stories at times can be
very dark there is a reason for everything I do. Perspective, perception, and
relativity are everything in the world of literature.
