I wrote a thriller about a man who cannot live with not being chosen — and about how far a person will go to change that.
It started with one question.
Why do some people get picked, effortlessly, while others stand just outside the light and study them? Elias asks it the way I once did. Then he goes looking for an answer, and the answer turns out to have teeth.
The story, the characters, and every decision that matters are mine. It took years, thousands of passes, and more rewrites than I want to count.
What I want most is a reader. Not a polite one — an honest one. Tell me where it grabbed you and where it let go.
Read the opening and decide for yourself.
