Awaken: The Hollowstone Chronicles

by Chris Van Dyk

Overview

It was a brilliant moonlit summer night like any other. The fields were illuminated under the pale light and the shadows creeped along like refugees from distant dreams. Chris and Daniel never thought twice about their late night walk around town. They'd done it dozens of times in the past. Danger never crossed their minds... it did, however, cross their path.

After one fateful encounter, the boys and their friends suddenly found themselves thrown into a mysterious war. As questions were answered, stranger riddles would surface. Monsters, insanity, sorcery, ghostly apparitions, and murder all haunt the town they had previously thought so dull and ordinary.

The first of a projected series of five, Awaken introduces the core characters to the greater story and sets up a war unlike any the world has seen. How long can the teens contain their war before it consumes the entire town?

About the Author

Salutations, dear readers! My name is Chris. I've been a writer for a number of years now. My first book, "Awaken: The Hollowstone Chronicles" was originally printed by Tate Publishing in 2009. I have since left Tate and am now publishing exclusively online. My favorite genres are horror, suspense, mystery, fantasy, and sci-fi. Please check back often as I'm getting pretty prolific as of late! The first three books of my Hollowstone Chronicles are now available and have the green light for Premium Catalog status! Book IV has been outlined and I just recently started on it. I'm hoping to release it sometime in 2016 (updated as I was originally planning for 2015... moving to a new state for a new job tends to throw a monkey wrench into writing projects)l. Book V is... well, it's in there somewhere. Stay tuned! I have also written a book about my experiences as an American teaching English in Korea. Trust me, the act of simply taking a shower is enough to write a book over there! Be sure to check out "A Life Less Ordinary!"

I've taken up several smaller, but definitely significant writing projects. I took my first swing at including LGBT writing in my arsenal with "Both Sides of the Fence." In May 2016, I hope to release a series of mind-bending short stories in a collection entitled "An Unusual Anthology." Book IV of the Hollowstone Chronicles (should) be released in October. Lastly, my first children's book, another anthology called "The Heroes Chronicles" should be released on Black Friday 2016.

Other than that, I'm an English teacher, a martial artist, a linguist, and a pretty darn good cook if I do say so myself. I'm originally from Dublin, VA, but I relocated to Carrboro, NC after living for three years in Baton Rouge. When I figure out what I want to be when I grow up, I'll let you know.

Thank you for visiting my page and taking an interest in my books! If you'd like to know more, please feel free to connect with me via Facebook. Sadly, I'm hopelessly addicted to Facebook, but it's a good place to get updates for that reason. Happy reading!
