Book Description:
Ethan finds himself
trapped between the world he knows and the world that could be. A
sadistic bully, an unsympathetic principal, and an unreachable love
interest make high school difficult for Ethan. He feels like he’s
living a lie, trying to blend in at school in an effort to keep his
head attached to his body.
The support his Wiccan
family provides is negated by fear of not being the son his father
wants. An impromptu trip into the future saves him from an enraged
bully while instilling doubts about where he really belongs. Somehow,
he has to find a way to survive in his own world tossing aside his
mask and doubts.

Excerpt:
Ethan
hid in a dark doorway, panting, while he considered his options. No
way Caulb and his felons in training would give up once they figured
out he outsmarted them. Shouts echoing in the cavernous hallway
alerted him. Danger was closer than he’d thought. Great. Weren’t
schools supposed to be crawling with staff members looking out for
the welfare of the students? Yeah, right. Too bad, he’d left his
cell phone in Leah’s car. Not that it would have done him much good
since the school used a dampener to keep students from texting in
class.
If
high schools were a theme park, then tenth grade was the roller
coaster. It started uneventfully. The most stressful part had been
fending off all the helpful staff members, who wanted to redirect him
to the middle school, assuming, since he was shorter than a good
portion of the girls, he wasn’t old enough for high school.
The
voices veered off to the left, down the science corridor. A window of
opportunity opened up. Ethan shot up the hallway to the gym, where
the wrestling team practiced earlier. His father had nagged him to
try out for the wrestling team. Even the coach asked him to give it a
go, because they needed someone in his weight class. Most of his
matches would forfeit due to not having anyone in his class or he’d
end up wrestling a girl, the coach said. No thanks. He already had
enough things to be teased about.
The
dimly lit hallway stretched as if it were endless. Maybe this was a
dream and he’d wake up soon. Caulb’s voice filtered down the
hallway. His bass timber was menacing enough without the eerie
quality of it bouncing off the metal lockers and taking on an almost
mechanical quality. Caulb was a deadly droid, on the mission of
annihilating anyone who didn’t conform to his standards.
Unfortunately, no tip sheet existed to specify what his standards
were. All Ethan knew was, he didn’t meet them.
The
gym doors came into view. Sanctuary. He swung the door open with a
gasp, unsure what he was going to say. All he had to do was stick
close to the coach. Maybe he could say he needed to use the phone to
call home. His eyes darted around the empty gym. Where was everyone?
An image of the wrestlers in their spandex suits came to mind. They
were dressed in their team apparel when he’d seen them earlier,
which meant they were probably at an away meet, and why no one was in
the gym. The lights illuminated the wooden floor and abandoned mats.
He
took a few steps into the gym, stopped, and turned slowly, seeing no
sign of following bullies, or an almost friend who stabbed him in the
back. His lips pulled down into a frown, remembering the different
expectations he’d had for the night, much different.
About
the Author:
Rayna Noire is an author
and a historian. The desire to uncover the truth behind the original
fear of witches led her to the surprising discovery that people
believed in magick in some form up to 150 years ago. A world that
believed the impossible could happen and often did must have been
amazing. With this in mind, Ms. Noire taps into this dimension,
shapes it into stories about Pagan families who really aren't that
different from most people. They do go on the occasional time travel
adventures and magick happens.
