When Worlds Collide

When Worlds Collide is an erotic supernatural thriller in which Gabriel Michaels is a best-selling author who has lived alone in his large three-story house near Port Angeles, Washington ever since his ex-wife nearly kills him in a fit of rage a dozen years ago. Fearful of commitment, Gabe’s heart is finally awakened to the possibility of being able to love again when a beautiful new waitress named Charlie Evans starts working at his favorite diner. With the awkwardness of a teenager, he begins a torrid and tumultuous relationship with this brash, young woman nearly half his age who already has one male in her life, an over-protective Alaskan malamute named Max who thinks he’s human as well. Meanwhile, Gabriel has just begun to work on his eleventh novel, but after a few weeks he realizes that something isn’t quite right as the characters he’s writing about begin to take over the story, leading him to believe that there is something sinister and evil lurking beneath the lines of prose on his computer. As he continues to record their story, he soon discovers the boundary between their world, and this world is beginning to blur. But that is just the beginning. Just weeks into his roller coaster relationship with Charlie, he begins to experience dreams with such realism, vividness, and rich detail, it comes as no surprise when he learns that he is now able to consciously control and manipulate what happens within his dreamscape. But he soon becomes aware that he has caught the attention of a powerful and seemingly unstoppable malevolent entity that has now set its sights on killing not only his friends and framing him for the heinous crimes, but perhaps his last best chance at love, Charlie Evans. Realizing all three worlds are somehow connected to each other, and responsible for the intense sexual desires he is experiencing and writing about, he knows that if there is any chance left at getting his own life back in order, he’s got to solve the mystery in all three worlds before they collide, killing not only him and the woman he’s falling in love with, but everyone he knows and cares about.

About the Author

I started trying to write my stories since I was twelve years old, all science fiction in nature, which had become and still is my favorite genre in the movies and the written word. I love the phrase, "what if?" and speculating on the many mysteries and phenomenon that still haunt mankind. I attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I loved my English and Literature courses, and I had more than one Professor encourage me to write. But lacking the courage to submit my stories they grew dust, both in the physical form and digitally. At the age of forty-nine I sold everything bought a travel trailer and moved to Moab, Utah where I spend my time Camp Hosting for the BLM, and various other jobs, allowing me to write nearly full time. But on a whim I submitted one of my stories "The Fourth Age", and it was accepted, to my great surprise. Encouraged, I quickly dusted off my other short stories and outlines, and "Dead Awake" followed by "The Fourth Age II: In Search of Esther" was published. During my latest winter layoff I wrote the three stories I've decided to publish digitally; "The Reunion Part I: Revelations", and Part II: Fire and Ice", "After the Fall", and "When Worlds Collide". I am now working on the third "Reunion" sequel as well as "The Reaping" and "Fourteen Days Later". Visit my website: mark-d-brown.com, and join me on Facebook at Fans of Mark Brown.
