Description:
JOLT
begins with a touch. A touch that will either send the world spinning
out of control, or return it to where it belongs…
Joel
Heath PhD, is obsessed to unlock nature’s secret of an alternative
source of clean, abundant and cheap energy. It’s the most important
research a physicist should be doing. His single mindedness has
alienated him from his peers at Queen’s University.
Joel’s
potential success is a threat to conglomerates such as Devlin Energy.
Phil Devlin has Joel terminated from his position before there are
any breakthroughs. Devlin will protect his company’s enormous
profits and the influence such wealth buys at any cost.
On
a cold December night, Joel encounters a homeless man, Charlie
Maracle. Visions of impending global slaughter, triggered by an Oil
War have driven Charlie to the brink of insanity. Joel’s simple
gesture of compassion is rewarded with a dazzling insight and within
hours, the LITE device is created.
Joel
learns how ruthless a man protecting an empire can be. Devlin’s
private strike team has a mission—bury this device by any means
necessary. Their ferocity and speed is overwhelming.
But
Charlie has also encountered four others. A young woman battered by a
series of crises, a middle aged widow and a fatherless teenage boy.
To each of them Charlie imparts a gift. Or is it a curse?
These
five people are all that stand in the way of Phil Devlin’s plans
one night before Christmas.
About
the Author:
Katie
lives in Canada near Lake Ontario with her partner Desmond. They are
living the life that they’ve always dreamed about--writing, editing
and collaborating on books. Both are alumni of Queen’s University
in Kingston and are frequent visitors to the Tyendinaga reservation,
where the novel JOLT is set. She has published a series of adult
romance books as well as a romantic comedy, recently released –
Funny Business.
For
relaxation (what is that?) she and Desmond enjoy walking their
neurotic pug, trying different recipes together (Des cooks, Katie
helps) and watching HBO movies, followed by immersion in their hot
tub. There’s almost nothing better than star gazing in the frigid
air while being toasty warm…Well maybe skiing at Mont St. Anne is a
close second.
In
taking on an epic of the scale of JOLT, Katie has been inspired by
the words of Goethe.
“Be
bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.”
