• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Downdraft is an action thriller following the life of a young woman, Avril Lurton, whose family perish after a horrific event sweeps across London then England. Avvy turns from a young office clerk into a knife throwing survivor, as the world around her is reduced to a wasteland where the rotting affected easily outnumber the displaced uninfected.
After an encounter leaves her with a strange injury her crusade takes her south, and so she becomes a drifter who is still in a state of confusion but coping as best she can. When she rescues a young American, Rob Lester, who hides a dark secret, they go in search of the cure she craves. The trust in their relationship slowly develops, as does her condition and, although Rob initially threatens Avvy's very mortality, he lets her stay by his side. Rob sees no need to be worried and takes the opportunity to double his strength.
As the trip continues their skills are honed and refined, they learn to move with stealth as a team, their senses growing alongside their abilities. Avvy knows strange things are happening inside her, even looking at Rob through different eyes. New challenges are faced every day, their strengths and weaknesses to become their new routine. Both Avvy and Rob grow within their new surroundings, the alterations obvious as they utilise their talents.
Their final battle finds them escaping another half dead mass, which in turn opens the door for Rob to tell the truth of his story. There's a reason why he's never been infected, and this he explains whilst trying to tell Avvy he loves her. Their lives seem to be over, especially through the girl's eyes. Rob has to make a choice, so does Avvy. The end leaves them head to head. Though they have both grown into strong individuals, with the ability to survive alone, suddenly they realise they can no longer live without the other.

Writing History of Tam Sturgeon

1970's
I find myself reciting poetry at middle school in Christmas Assemblies. Pam Ayres a particular favourite (and remembered to this day).

1980's
I start writing poetry in Secondary School, after finding a poem in a Sunday Supplement. An emotionally charged home life gives me reason to lose myself when my mother is being all weird and shouty. Poetry takes me away from that. I find it comes easily and is prolific. I write various lyrics and silly ditties for birthdays and weddings.

2003-2004
I start my first novel, Champagne Hurricane, a rock and roll love story, whilst I'm having an emotional breakdown. The first in the line of my life changing events starts with my Father dying then my first husband leaving me, all within 18 months of each other. I'm awarded Runner-up in a Writer's Forum Magazine Competition. I start Art College and use my poems as part of my finals. It earns me a Distinction. I find I have enough material to write my 1st and 2nd book of poetry.

2004-2009
The next three books of poetry are written, one after the other in quick concession. I then relocate to Somerset. The novel is put on the backburner, due to a demanding second husband which ends very badly for me.

2010
I relocate back to Bucks, finding myself with little to show for my time away. I return to my writing and the first novel, which is finished before the New Year.

2011
A massive near fatal heart attack in the March leaves me on the verge of another emotional breakdown. I start to write my second novel and take a very level headed look at my life. Being housebound pushes me back into writing once more, and two more volumes of poetry are poured out before the end of the year. A new novel is also started, a Werewolf and Vampire love story, which runs parallel with the second. Six others novels are also dabbled with, but soon fall by the wayside.

2012
I finish the second, and two more books of poetry are completed. A 10th volume of A-Z Pocket Poetry is then completed. The third novel, still in its infancy, is set aside as the rhythm of the ode becomes my favourite once more. I tell myself the poetry collection will end at volume thirteen.

2013
With the New Year comes more poetry, the 11th book, 12th, and 13th. Later that year my first novel is ePublished to Smashwords.com and is welcomed with open arms by the readers, gaining 10, 5...
