Revernota by J. Mitchel Reed
Quote: Three boys – Sammy, his best friend, Howie, and school bully Tommy – find themselves drawn into a world of mind-bending, shape-shifting alternative realities after a mysterious neighbour introduces them to a hidden dimension.
As the boys tap into a realm of powerful frequencies and possibilities and learn their neighbour’s true intent, Sammy must overcome his fears and discover his own destiny to become a “Revernota,” tasked with the great responsibility of protecting this fragile planet from exploitation.
An editor, cinematographer, videographer and director, Reed lives in Orangeville. Revernota, a work of fantasy for middle schoolers, is his first work of fiction. (Chicken House Press, $19.99)
On the Edge: A Cole Buckman Novel by Marina L. Reed with Don Hawkins
Quote: When Marina L. Reed sat down to write On the Edge, she found herself in uncharted territory: the arcane world of security intelligence. But Don Hawkins, a former police officer, had a story in mind, and he believed that Reed was the person to write it. Their collaboration resulted in the first book in what is slated to become a series featuring MI6 agent Cole Buckman.
When Cole’s father, a crown prosecutor, narrowly survives a courthouse shooting that kills several others, his son swings into action, assembling an off-the-books team to track down the assassins. The team’s mission leads them on an international hunt to foil the criminals who are intent on bringing down world governments.
Reed, who lives in Orangeville, has written several novels, as well as the Remember, It’s OK series with Marian Grace Boyd. A former police officer, Hawkins has a background in international security. (Chicken House Press, $16.99)
