GENRE: Science-Fiction
BLURB:
Set
in a science fiction setting with elements of twisted horror, Future Winds is a
strange yet wondrous tale of species self preservation and the all out moral
cost of survival. Forced to leave earth, humanity discovers a planet capable of
supporting life and hatches an audacious plan that will warp them across the
universe to settle and begin anew. There is a darkness that resides below the
planet's surface, but with no option to turn back, humanity must find a way
forward.

Excerpt
Chapter 12 excerpt:
Though humanities new planet is mostly desert, there is an
abundance of lush and complex alien life that dwell below the hot surface.
The channel was lit up by neon flora of green and blue,
beautiful little plants that swayed back and forth despite the lack of a breeze
or draft to give them a push. Reaching out to touch one with his glove, the
little blossom reacted by illuminating brighter, so much so that the exterior
became transparent, and Tyler could see the thousands of cells within, that
made up life for the spectacular flower.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
My name is
Kevin Laymon. My passions are space exploration, music, sailing, snowboarding,
wildlife, and of course writing. I have been writing for some time but the
focus has been primarily on short stories and dark poems strictly for personal
use. Future Winds is the first of a handful of novels I am working on for
publication. I grew up in upstate New York and have lived up and down the east
coast. New York is a location that holds a very special place in my heart.
After working a wide range of jobs that I hated for far too long, Sara my
significant other, and I decided earlier in 2015 to make some dramatic changes
and travel. We scraped together some cash, I quit my job, and we moved to
Albuquerque, New Mexico where we live a libertarian life as vegetarians. We
share our desertscape living quarters with an aquatic turtle named Taz and a
rabbit named BunBear. On October 9th 2015 Sara & I got married in Las
Vegas, Nevada. The sunshine in New Mexico has helped immensely in illuminating
a greater perspective as to who I am and what I was placed on this planet to
do; that is to teach and inspire. I have a hunger to awaken humanity so that we
may break away from our programed way of thinking. Our minds are powerful and I
encourage everyone to open them up, exercise them, and tap into the potential I
know every living man woman and child has. Though my stories at times can be
very dark there is a reason for everything I do. Perspective, perception, and
relativity are everything in the world of literature.
