Modern Meets Ancient. Tropical Paradise Meets Paranormal Terror. In the year 620, a young Polynesian man named Kaimi arrives on the virgin shores of Hawaii. He is among the first people there, though quickly realizes they aren't alone. Strange company watches on from the trees and shorelines: elemental beings only Kaimi can perceive. Like the dark presence in one particular bay, in the verdant island that will become Kauai. Fifteen-hundred years later, a Mormon mother named Marilyn Toomey-secretly harboring her own sensitivity to such beings-finds herself whisked away with her husband to the remote Huna'ia Resort on Kauai. Though hesitant, Marilyn feels compelled to go-if only because something seems to be calling her there. As their lives drift closer across the centuries, and as they come to fully embrace their talents, Kaimi and Marilyn must pull away from their communities and former beliefs in the face of an empowered and malevolent entity-and the looming threat of utter catastrophe. A thoughtful and beautiful eco-fantasy, Ancient Tides Ashore explores human kinship across time, culture and belief, as well as our relationship to the unknown within-and among-us.
Autorenporträt
AUTHOR: Mike Robinson has been a writer since age six and a professional one since nineteen. His initial editing experience came in the swarms of prose he pumped out into the world, only occasionally into the world of actual magazines, anthologies or e-zines. Soon, as he began selling more regularly, and as publishers took note of his longer works, he began freelance editing. In the past eight years, he's edited screenplays, memoirs, novels, children's books and, would you believe it, epic narrative poetry. One of the novels he edited, "Under the Tamarind Tree," was shortlisted among nine others for the 2014 Dundee International Book Prize. A charter member of The Greater Los Angeles Writers Society (GLAWS), he's also the managing editor of the organization's official publication, Literary Landscapes, which features stories, excerpts, articles and poetry (see issues here). In addition, he belongs to the editing collective Write For Success, for which he performs manuscript critiques and consultation. As an author, he's published nine novels and almost fifteen short stories.
