A novel I have been working on for over a year. It's in the editing stages.
Michael Ackerman knew sorrows, responsibilities, and disappointments unbefitting his seventeen years. Michael is an old soul; a boy who has seemingly lived many lifetimes in a few short years. His mother was his one true confidant; the only like soul who understood him like no other could. But Michael's mother died. So his story begins.
Melody Lucas is timid, enveloped in the protection of a loving home and a lively brain; a brain with an overactive imagination, or so her parents think. Melody is an old soul; she attracts souls that have broken free of their bodies, oftentimes unintentionally. She reads them, senses them, sees them rattle in every living being she comes across. She knows you completely, though you don't know her. She was overwhelmed by her gifts. No one understood what burdened her. Though she shared everything with her best friend Sage, even she could not help her shoulder the least of it. One day, she met someone who kept the restless dead at bay. So her story begins.
