Coming July 2013 from Harper Teen and Doubleday Canada: a young adult thriller surrounding a 16 year-old boy who survives going over a waterfall only to discover his town suddenly transformed and his reputation inexplicably sinister.
‘A hundred-a
nd-twenty-thousand gallons of water roar over Crystal Falls every second, it says on all the plaques and pamphlets around town.
Which is almost two million glasses, or two-thousand bathtubs, or six full swimming pools, spilling every second, plunging eighty feet to boom against rocks and turn into mist, foaming and churning and swirling in a giant bowl before raging madly away downriver.
I would’ve never guessed I’d go along for the ride. But still, I didn’t scream. I didn’t scream or struggle or do anything like that. I just crossed my arms and went over like I was already in a coffin.’
This is the first book written by my alter-ego, Paul Blackwell. He will be launching a blog of his very own, The Black Well, in April 2013.
In the meantime, you can follow him on twitter under @pauleblackwell and get the latest updates on his Facebook page. Oh, and be sure to add and review UNDERCURRENT over at Goodreads.
