Refraction – my first published novel

For a few years now, I’ve been writing Refraction.

It wasn’t until earlier this year that I devoted my full attention to the book. Previously I had written 35,000 words, from January to June this year, I wrote an addition 80,000. (With edits, the final version sits around 105,000 words.)
 
It’s been a long, hard slog, but the end result is worth it. I’m really proud with how its all come together. The story, the characters, the twists and turns… I just hope it’s well received.
 
Here’s the back cover text:
 
Most stories start at the beginning; this one begins at the end. At least for Maria.
Her sudden death sends shockwaves through her family and pushes her grieving mother to the very brink of insanity. After exhausting every avenue conventional medicine has to offer, Maria’s father, Henry, brings together the world’s greatest minds in the hope of carving out a new path.
Months pass, and as Henry watches his beloved Elena slowly drift away, he begins to lose faith. It is only then that a solution presents itself. A discovery so momentous, it saves Elena and reveals the most important scientific and technological breakthrough in modern history.
Silicate is founded; a privately funded facility which delves deeper into the human mind, able to discover answers to questions we are yet to ask. Securing Silicate’s secrets becomes of utmost importance; even after treating hundreds of patients, the public are still unaware of the wonders and terrifying reality Silicate has unearthed . . .
 
The world you know is only half the story.
 
It’s a sci-fi adventure set in modern day London. Great characters, engaging/exciting story and more pop-culture references than you could dream of!
 
Refraction will be released on Friday 4 October and is available through Amazon, both on Kindle and paperback.
