Young Love, Old Lore

Paul Masters is a troubled and irresponsible young man who doesn't much care about himself or his future until he crashes into the elderly Mrs. Halston one morning while rushing to school. He nearly kills her and, as a result, faces the harsh reality of severe legal jeopardy if she dies. His relationship with his girlfriend Sandy is also on the rocks and everything in his life seems to be spiraling out of control until Mrs. Halston recovers and appears in court on his behalf, rescuing him from a lengthy jail term and a doomed perspective on life as well.

Following the brutal accident caused by Masters' impatience and carelessness, Mrs. Halston is taken to the hospital with her life hanging by a thread. He witnesses her carted away and realizes his life is forever changed by one careless act. Ironically, he fails to realize that what seems like a tragic event ending only in misery for him is really the most fortunate and life-altering moment of his life. Bad luck turns into the best possible circumstances for Paul Masters.

Sandy, the love of his life, is equally a mess and hasn't a clue what she wants from life. She parties too much, hangs out with destructive, immature friends and considers Paul a crimp on her wild, unrestrained lifestyle. She only wants to dump him after the accident and possible jail sentence because she can't deal with the tragedy of it all and, unknown to her, the even greater tragedy of losing him.

Reconciliation is hard won for both after a rather rocky break up but when they start talking openly for the first time because the pressure's off at last, they find they have more in common than they realized which draws them closer together. Toward a greater appreciation for each other and profound love too after Mrs. Halston rescues Paul from himself.

About the Author

Gordon Byron is a world traveler (who has lived in North America, Asia and Europe), teacher, earth science nut and outdoors person with a background in geological sciences, market trading and fiction writing. He became interested in fiction writing and poetry at age nine, science fiction in grade school and horror stories in high school but now focuses primarily on creating characters involved in some form of moral/ existential struggle that forces them to overcome personal weaknesses or past grievances.

He loves reading literary fiction, classics, science fiction and romantic comedies but lately occupies most of his time by researching new topics that might be interesting to himself, current and future readers. He attempts to connect with his readers through dynamic and accessible characters others can sympathize with and grow to love and emulate. His primary motivation for writing is to entertain and amuse.

He wrote The Superspecies series with the intent of presenting the possibility of a group of animals becoming as or more intelligent than human beings through genetic engineering and modification. A radical change that forces humans to reevaluate their status as rulers of the planet, putting them in the position of deciding whether to defend (or share) their place with an emerging species.
