Description
THE AUTHOR'S GIFT
"I didn't just write their story. I created them. And now they're here to tell me everything I got wrong."
Mike Gambell is a successful thriller writer with five bestselling novels about the Evans family and their supernatural gift—the ability to commune with the dead. It's all fiction. Carefully crafted, emotionally resonant fiction based on his grandfather's stories.
Until the day Darin Evans knocks on his door.
The character Mike created. The man who died in Book One. Standing on his porch, very much alive, with his wife Wendy and son Leo. They're real. They've always been real. And they need Mike's help.
Because the third book in his series—the one Mike's about to publish—contains events that haven't happened yet. Dark, violent events that will destroy this family Mike has accidentally created. Events he now has the power to prevent.
Or does he?
As Mike tries to rewrite fate itself, he discovers that some stories refuse to be controlled. The tapestry of destiny has its own gravity. And the line between author and participant, between creator and family, is about to dissolve completely.
When the horror of Book Three manifests despite his best efforts, Mike must face an impossible truth: he can't save everyone. But he can choose to love them through it. He can choose to be family.
Even if it costs him everything.
THE AUTHOR'S GIFT is the stunning conclusion to The Gift Series—a meta-narrative about guilt, redemption, and the families we choose when the ones we create become real.
Perfect for fans of Stephen King's "Misery" meets Dean Koontz's "Odd Thomas" with a touch of "Stranger Than Fiction."
