Sophistan Children of Earth
Why, Mom and Dad, didn’t you tell me… Even the ants hate my blood as the bullies pound me. The others say I have to be a super-child—a warrior. My love, Amy, will grow up, having someone else’s children—having mine would kill her from the inside; I am immortal. Stefan, coldly manipulated by his power-hungry mom, beaten by criminals—his power is frightening. His older girlfriend protects us from black-op crazies, hostile aliens… everyone wants us dead. Sometimes I wish they would succeed. My young friend, Ty, wields the power of secret aliens; his magic wand is his life’s core. Why does the incorporeal Sophistan1, seventy-three light-years away, care about us? We are the first Children of Sophista to emerge. I hope the future ones know some good games.
Stefan, in the illustration above, is seven-years-old. His mom, the fairy queen, is breaking his magic wand. Magic wands are given by a secret alien race that has taken up residence on the Earth. Unknown to Stefan's mom, Anashivalia, when a person receives a wand, it is created from part of their body and becomes a part of them. So it is not some technological or purely magical device, but something which exposes the holder's hidden talents. It allows them to learn who they truly are and what they are capable of. However, only one thing is important to Anashivalia, and that is her son being the ruthless King of Earth one day---the one who frees the fairies from their servitude. The question is: by breaking the wand has she broken Stefan's spirit or even potentially killed him? We shall see.
Tyco, pictured on the front cover, is a twelve-year-old Mayan-American filled with mystical and somewhat terrifying power. He was modified by another alien race known as the "Lizards" via a procedure which resembled continuous torture. But unknown to the Lizards, another unknown alien has shaped Tyco's genetic heritage. Now Tyco must learn who he really is, and how to use his powers without endangering peaceful humans, or he will be euthanized. While trying to avoid vivisection by ruthless humans wanting to know how he works, he must also discover his human side and find a way to experience the joys of human childhood despite all the talents bestowed upon him. The mystical eight-year-old Ty, who also totes a wand, is a friend of Tyco and tries to help Tyco understand who he is.
This book is currently being written. The entire story has been outlined and the rough draft currently has about 100,000+ words written. One thing different about this book from other science fiction/fantasy books you might have read is that this book is being written in a literary fiction or character centric style rather than the typical plot driven style of genre fiction. By the time you finish reading this book, you will know the kids in this book as well as your own relatives.
This book is the first of four planned prequels for "Stefan's Owl from Oblivion." So far, the plan is to make this an illustrated book.
