Fourfold

by Charles D. Shell

Overview

What’s a computer geek to do? This ain’t no MMORPG!

Arthur Bible, computer programmer and routine geek, had a normal life. But when his best pal Galen's ex-girlfriend drops in from another dimension and shatters a simple after-work dinner with bullets, fists, and bodies flying in epic Hollywood proportions . . . well, life stopped being quite so normal.

It turns out that his pal has a past undreamed of. He has the ability to ‘fold’ physical laws from one dimension to the next and has made more than a few enemies—besides his former fiancée Lian—who are looking to settle scores.

Thus begins a chase that drags Arthur, Galen and Lian through modern Manhattan and three fantastic parallel Earths: one of zeppelins, chi-powered martial arts and steam-driven robots; another with magicians, sword-wielding nobility and elemental riverboats; the third with fantastic super-science and fascist telepaths.

Worse yet, Arthur discovers that Nexus, the shadowy inter-dimensional organization seeking to kill them might actually be the lesser of two evils!

About the Author

I’m a native of southwestern Virginia and still dwell nearby,perhaps deep within the limestone caves of the region. I grew up a geek who loved science fiction, fantasy, comic books and role-playing games–pretty much the whole nerd gamut. I snagged an associate degree in Commercial Art at Virginia Western Community College before joining the Army. I spent four years in the U.S. Army as a SIGINT Analyst (if you don’t know what that is, it sounds a lot sexier than it really is.) I spent most of my time in uniform in Germany, during which I concluded that it wasn’t the career for me. After which I attended the Joe Kubert School of Graphic Arts and Animation in Dover, NJ and graduated three years later. I had intended on seeking a job in the comic industry–until I got exposed to enough of it to rethink my intentions. In the intervening years I subsisted on odd jobs and periodic freelance art work. At some point I decided to try to write. Much to my joy, I discovered I loved writing. I REALLY loved writing. During my free time in the last ten years I’ve written six novels and am halfway through the seventh. In-between the novels I’ve written fifteen short stories and have done a lot of fiction blogging. After my second novel was thoroughly rejected by all the usual companies as well as countless short story rejections, my attention was grabbed by the exploding ebook market. So instead of continuing my cycle of publisher rejections, I decided to post my fifth novel, ‘Fourfold’ online. Since I didn’t have the financial wherewithal to hire a cover artist, I dusted off my art skills and painted it myself. I shall hopefully have my fourth novel ‘Mettle’s Forge’ published–with another cover painted by me–within the next few weeks. I shall publish my second, third and sixth novels as soon as humanly possible.
