About the Book (from Amazon)
Discover #1 bestselling novel, Evan Burl and the Falling
My father abandoned me when I was an infant.
My friends have turned against me.
My uncle beats me.
The most powerful men in the world want me dead.
They all have one thing in common.
They think I'm turning into a monster.
I'm starting to worry they're right.
An excerpt from Evan Burl and the Falling (from Amazon)
I found myself in a kingdom of stars and clouds. Endless. Deadly. And blue as blood.
Stretching without blemish from one side of the world to the other, the sky was perfect but for one single black speck.
If anyone was watching, they might have wondered whether I was merely napping on a pillow of thin air.
But it was nothing so pleasant.
This was a falling.
For what felt like hours, the whole world seemed frozen below me. Except for the wind, everything was silent. It seemed as if I could stay up there forever. It was beautiful really, whenever I managed for a few moments together to ignore the fact that I was hurtling toward the ground at about 214 miles-per-hour.
I didn't really even feel sick to my stomach.
Until the last thirty seconds.
First, the rolling mountains and hills, which always seemed so solid and unshakable, lumbered toward me like hulking bullies begging for a fight.
Then houses and barns. They popped out of the ground, like grasping hands from a fresh grave. Pulling me down. Into the earth, where I belong.
Ten seconds later, what seemed like a bit of lint stuck to my eyelash transformed into a living human. Then more. Dozens, hundreds of people. Working, eating, anything but looking up to see me plummeting through the sky like a shooting star.
Another ten seconds--far too soon--and the whole world was rushing up at a speed that turned my stomach to acid.
It was the last hundred feet that really tested what I was made of.
Gasping one last lung full of air, I realized in that moment that I was far less brave and far more foolish than I could possibly have imagined.
And right before the end, I closed my eyes.
Because no one can watch a falling.

About the Author (from Amazon)
#1 bestselling author, Justin Blaney, was born in Los Angeles and began his writing career in Mrs. King's English class at the age of 6, but after a tragic accident involving a manual pencil sharpener he suddenly declared that writing was "not his thing."
Instead, he moved one state north to make his fortune in the organic meats industry.
After being named the Sausage Baron of Springfield, Justin grew tired of farming fame and moved yet another state north where he can venture into the meat department at Whole Foods without being pestered for the secret to one of his famous recipes.
Since then, Justin founded several companies, earned an MBA, began producing films, went parasailing, rode an elevator to the top of the Space Needle and decided to give writing one last shot, the result of which is a book about a shut-in named Evan Burl who never takes a bath. Evan Burl and the Falling, the first novel in a series that has very little to do with hygiene, reached #1 bestselling status in the suspense, fantasy and teen genres.
Justin lives with his wife and three daughters in Issaquah, a suburb of Bellevue which is a suburb of Seattle.

From what little bit I just read it seems like a fast read. It is just not my genre.
Sounds like a very nice book with lots of moral lessons in it.
I have not tried reading an ebook yet. For some reason, I prefer a hard copy. But maybe someday, I will try it.
This sounds like a good book, funny thing is I want to read it because he did not want to be a writer. I love it when people fall into things that they do not expect to be doing.
