My first book was Endurance which at the time, I wanted to title it Rebirth. The irony is soon I will be working on a prequel to this book series titled Rebirth, go figure. Endurance: The Power Within, is about a teenage girl named Mei. Her mother is Chinese-American and her Father is West Indian-American coming from the island of Trinidad & Tobago.
Mei is sort of a lost soul. Her father dies when she is just five and she finds her self the step-daughter of her father’s best friend, whom she hates. And this is truly my topic for today. Have you ever hated someone and you just can’t figure out why? I have experienced this a few times in my life and I have questioned my sanity concerning it. Like Mei what I have come to learn is that, everything you feel is for a reason. She hated her stepfather Thomas and in time she understood why. It was more than just the way he treated her, or how he made her feel. No one, especially her mother understood her contempt for this man until everything was brought into the light.
Mei’s hated for Thomas is not the main focus of the story. For those of you who read and follow my series know that I write a multi character, multi storyline book based on Visionary and Speculative fiction. I have a lot of fun writing my books and sharing my stories with others.
Today think about that gut feeling, those feelings you just can’t shake. Are you right for feeling the way that you do? Is it a fault in your character or maybe it’s a warning coming from the beyond to keep your guard up about a certain situation or person.
I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day. My name is April Thomas author of The Endurance Series you can find me or my books at the links below. Please enjoy an excerpt from my first book Endurance The Power within.
She felt the strangest sensation; her ears began to ring until she could hear audible words. Come back…to me? Mei grabbed her left ear, confused and frightened.
It seemed as if Max Martinez was communicating with her. She didn’t realize she was staring right back at him. She felt oddly relaxed as if in a trance. Mei looked away quickly, still holding her ear. She immediately grabbed her books as the bell rang, darting for the door.
Max quickly stood up, noticing Mei’s reaction. I know she heard me, he thought. This realization only threw fuel on the inferno blazing inside of him. He swiftly grabbed his books, attempting to pursue her. Just as he made it out the door.
