Excerpt:
There
is no way to get past my attacker and the two crocodile Creepers. The Creeper
birds circling above the platform are an extra layer of security. I’m trapped.
Is death the only way out of this? The only way to save Beth? I don’t want to die.
But unlike Beth, an early death was written in my cards long ago. She could
live to eighty or even a hundred. I’ll be lucky to make it to twenty. As much
as I want to enjoy every moment of every day until my time naturally runs out,
her life is worth more than mine. I swore to protect it. One thing is certain.
If I live, she dies.
I
take in the bird’s-eye view of the Garden. The view of one world from the sky
of another. The Creepers flap their massive wings, circling nearer, my hair
whipping across my face from the draft.
“It’s
a long way down, Synthia.”
“That’s
one thing we agree on.” I shrug into my backpack and face him. “Another thing
we agree on is that some things are worse than death. Like losing a loved one.”
“A
loved one someone takes from you,” He says, with malice.
“I
am sorry about that. But you’re not going to kill Beth for revenge.”
“Oh?
Why is that?”
“Because
you can’t make me witness something if I’m dead.” With that, I whirl around and
hop onto the railing, teetering forward, gasping with panicked second thoughts.
“No!”
He screams.
Defiantly,
I heave myself off the railing.

About the Author
My name is Michael Seidelman.
I was born in Vancouver, BC Canada where I continue to reside. When I was
growing up, my passions were reading, watching movies, nature and creative
writing. Not much has changed since then. In high school when I had an
opportunity to write short stories in class, I relished reading them out loud
to my classmates who would gasp at the unexpected twists and applaud when I was
done. I took several creative writing classes and have continued writing over
the years while working in Interactive Marketing.
About two years ago, I decided to
take some time off to focus on my writing and work on a Young Adult trilogy.
The first book in The Garden of Syn series – No One
Dies in the Garden of Syn – will be released on April 26th.
Meanwhile, I am working hard on the second and third books in the series.
Getting up every morning and
sitting down to create new characters and bring new worlds to life is the most
fulfilling job I have ever had. Beyond the trilogy, I have many ideas plotted
out and I look forward to sharing them all with the world!
