Secondhand God
One cold day in 2012, Regan Roberts, a loving wife and mother of two beautiful daughters, wakes to find she has a special gift. What start out as parlor tricks and small illusions, quickly blossom into full blown miracles. As the world discovers more about Regan's powers, her ego grows - and so does the fear of the people. What if you knew that one of our citizens possessed the powers of God? Someone that was once an ordinary citizen, just like you or I? If she had the power to change reality, move mountains and even the stars, would you fear her or worship her? If you have the power of God, but the ego of man, that's a recipe for disaster. As religious sects and the military step in to stop her, the world quickly finds that she is the most powerful being that has ever existed. And there is no safe place to hide. Secondhand God explores what happens when the inevitable height of human potential is reached. A little bit urban fiction, a little bit fantasy with a twist of the paranormal, Colin Martin takes us on a rollercoaster ride of action, murder, adventure, religion and the true power of love. An entertaining look at the immensity of the human spirit, the characters inside Secondhand God discover for themselves the meaning of the phrase: "Greatness Cannot Be Stopped." "On this day, I am taking control of our collective destiny. The future of our world will be mine to decide, as I wish it to be. From this point forward, you will worship me as your God. You will abolish all churches, all synagogues, all mosques. From now on, I will be answering the prayers. I will be performing the miracles. There will be no more war, no more sickness, no more disease - I will control everything." - Regan

About the Author

His characters are rich with emotion, unafraid to take that next step towards greatness.

Colin has penned a number of acclaimed short stories for the web and has published a series of highly successful non-fiction works. "Secondhand God" is his first foray into a full-length novel, with many more to come.

He currently lives in Virginia Beach with his son, Cody.
