THE EPIC CONTINUES IN THE WORLD OF THE MAGARAM
WHEN LOVE LEADS TO ADVENTURE

Following his obsession, his quest to find the woman that consumes his imagination, young Julio finds himself in a place unlike anything he's ever known. Battling a fierce creature again—and surviving, he felt, by pure luck again, he decides he will not be caught unaware the next time.

It has been a year since the encounter and Julio has already written off the event as a memory. He has not seen the lady again, and has accepted that it will never happen again. But on the exact date that she appeared the previous year, she appeared again.

And Julio follows her once more, eager to know her, to find out everything about her. But as last year, the events that follow are not as simple. Surviving another Magaram encounter, he finally realizes that everything isn't just a chance encounter. There are forces as old as the first folk stories at play. For reasons still unknown, he somehow has reached the fabled realms of the Magaram, a race of beings whose abilities and achievements are likened to that of the gods - a legendary race that till then has only existed in folklore and superstition.

In the second installment of this epic tale, our young hero is again pitted against insurmountable odds that are impossible to survive from. Journey with Julio once more into a land filled with unknown dangers. Walk with him as he resolves to find meaning to the events that have changed his life, and the training he has to do to face another Magaram.

When the reason is unclear and the outcome is uncertain, will he find the courage to brave the fire?

EXCERPT
The head was huge. It was definitely a big snake. There was a long streak of fiery red covering the center of its head and ran in the middle of its back towards its tail. It was a shade of red that looked alive, while the rest of its body was bathed in white. Its scales had a whiteness that, if not for its fearsome features, almost seemed like it was pure. The area where the head stopped and the body started had a ring of black starting from where the red streak ended and appeared to cover the entire circumference.

Then the dragging sound stopped.

In its place, came a long and loud hiss that sent shivers from one end of his spine to the other. As if that was not enough to terrorize him, series of loud clucking sounds followed. The creature was moving its head from one side to another, and its sound decreased and increased in volume. The serpent raised its head way up, then dropped it low to the ground.

It was looking for him!

Without warning, a sound like an angry moan and a very heavy thud was heard. Julio felt the vibration in the ground. It had dropped to the ground heavily and the dragging sound resumed again, with the pauses in between almost undetectable.

It’s going in for the kill, thought Julio frantically....

    From the Publisher that brought you popular short story series Witching Call, Hostile Hearts, Earthbound Angels, The January Morrison Files Psychic Series, Ralph's Gift, Song of Teeth, Children of Time, Chains of Darkness, Tropical Storms and Friend Zone... WHEN INTO THE UNKNOWN IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR FOLLOW YOUR HEART, AND DISCOVER THE MAGARAM One sleepy summer afternoon, in an equally sleepy remote town, an old man sits under a tree. With him are children who have made a habit of visiting him on late afternoons to listen to his stories... stories of magical things, of adventure, and of great love. Every afternoon, he tells them the story of a young man who has reached the marrying age but cannot seem to find a suitable maiden to marry in his small town. As he reaches the deep well where the entire town gets their water on summers, Julio spies a curious sight – a young woman. Beautiful, enchanting, and someone he has never met. In those few precious seconds, time stopped for him. Like all villagers of Julio’s town, she is there to fetch water. She does not, however, live in Julio’s town, nor did she look like any villager. When you have just seen the most mesmerizing of the people in your world walk away, what do you do? But strange things begin to happen to Julio the moment he followed her. We all love to listen to the stories our elderly tell us, yet few of us questions the tales. Are they just stories made up to pass the time? Or are the stories rooted on true events? In this first book in a series of five, join Julio as he goes on a journey to find the woman that has captured his imagination. Follow the epic tale as our character journeys Into the Unknown.

Though no more than a few steps apart, he felt like he had been walking for a long time. His eyes settled on her face. Everything blotted out around them, and all that was left was color of the leaves and the light of the sun through the canopy above. “You are kind,” she spoke again, but this time with a shy, lovely smile on her face. “Gratitude.” What he had known about the town of which he had never set foot outside in all his 21 years heavily contradicted the woman. There was the peculiar way she phrased her words. Her unique physical features were an absolute mystery. He wracked his brain to discern where she might be living. But he knew of no place where people look or talk like her. He was so lost in his ruminations that he did not even notice the weight of the bucket that he was slowly lowering unto her shoulders. She rocked a little as she balanced the weight of the bucket. He half expected her shoulders to give. He knew how heavy that bucket was. He could not last ten minutes without taking it off and placing it on the other side. But she surprised him. Although the middle part of the bucket’s bottom was extending outside her right shoulder, her left hand stretched out and held the rim from that side. Her right hand was underneath for support. Very little water spilled out. Then, without saying a word, she started walking towards the narrow path opposite where he had come from, and disappeared among the tall grass.

Author

G. J. Winters

G.J. Winters “fell into” writing when a well-meaning teacher of his submitted his Creative Writing assignment for publication in the school paper. The local paper picked up the article and asked G.J. for publishing rights, to which the young G.J. agreed with some hesitation, as he felt “that wasn’t one of my best writings at the time.” The reality was that this article was written when G.J. was a junior in high school.The article, which was a fictionalized version of a local myth surrounding a famous abandoned house near a swamp, was an assignment turned in as part of a mid-term exam. The teacher, Miss Mendez, thought G.J.’s writing was “exemplary” and showed “natural, raw writing talent for a person his age." The assignment called for “providing details to a local urban myth – provide background, using a local resident’s POV, and close with a vague hint of authenticity and realism."The story, entitled “The Old Mansion by the Swamp,” appeared in the high school paper as a short story, but was later serialized in the local paper in 6 parts. G.J. added more characters and even a sub-story (which later became a story of its own, “I Was Shirley Massey” – a story which centered on a member of the fictional family who resided in the Massey Mansion in the late 70s and disappeared without a trace).With the success of both of his original series, G.J. thought to venture into writing longer stories, this time with futuristic themes, as he has always been fascinated with travelling through time, future crimes, apocalyptic themes, and stories set in civilizations from the future.G.J. identifies with sci-fi writers such as Isaac Asimov (“Kept me awake through most evenings in college.”) and Margaret Peterson Haddix (“My girlfriend at the time had fits of jealousy over my fanatical tendencies towards this author.”).G.J. holds a degree in Chemistry, is an intern at the R&D division of a pharmaceutical manufacturing company, and lives with girlfriend Deidre, a magazine editor.
