Steven Clark Bradley - Stories That Read YOU!

by Steven Clark Bradley

There is nothing greater than writing & creating something from nothing. It's the closest thing to the divine! The ability to create worlds and personalities, to describe something so powerfully it can make the reader laugh with joy, shiver in fear or cry in sorrow and empathy and to then breathe into them the breath of literary life is a gift from God; a process that starts in human imagination and comes to life on the printed page. It is the thing that separates us from the rest of creation! It is exactly what God did when He stepped into nothing and created something that lives and breathes!

I have written the genre of stories expressed in my books because I want to say something about my current society and to perhaps warn us of the things that could threatened the life we now have. I consider my books to be hard-hitting love stories that may frighten the reader, but which lead to a conclusion of hope and safety. Since I have traveled widely around the world, I think I can give a fair comparison of the life we share on this part of the small globe we call home. I also know how easy it would be to see it all blown away into the sands of time. So, the stories that flood my mind are to help us stop, perceive, reflect and perhaps alter our actions and cause us to look at where we are, where we have been and determine, perhaps with more clarity, where we are going.

I have lived in many cultures and that has given me a love for the differences amongst us. I am a student of American culture and write about the changes in our society. Yet, every place I have been and in everyone I have met there has always been that same driving force; the desire to leave those who follow us something that says we were here! This is an intrinsic passion for every writer, ultimately.

Some of us have or will become well known while we still write. Many of us will not be discovered until well after we have graduated to a higher calling. Yet, all of us want to leave behind a written account, a treatise of sorts, of what we value, how we think and what we believe. That is our legacy so that many after us may gain a perspective on our hopes and dreams and fears, in the day in which we live. That is why I write and that is what drives me and that is my passion! I bet you can relate!

EPOCH by Timothy Carter--Book Review

EPOCH by Timothy Carter is one of the funniest books I've read in years. And I knew it would be, just by its back cover blurb--which takes the Biblical Book of Revelation and tells you that the apocalypse isn't playing out the way it is written.

At fourteen years old, Vincent Drear is already living a hellish life. Thanks to his parents, his brother Max, and their dedication to the Holy Triumvirate, Vincent spends his days saving souls and protesting movies about boy wizards. Problem is, Vincent isn't buying what the Triumvirate is selling these days and he ends up locked in the family's basement chapel for punishment a lot of the time.

While at his school's science fair, Vincent spots an elf who tells him the Triumvirate are right about one thing: the end of the world is coming--and it's coming in 48 hours!

The elf elicits Vincent's help to save the world from being eaten alive by hungry demons as soon as the epoch ends. To do this, Vincent must find the Portal Sites, which everyone can use to escape from the demons. But the Portal Sites are going to close soon and anyone left behind becomes demon food. Vincent's next problem, the demons are after him; the elves jam a bug up his nose which forces him to do everything they tell him to--like beat up his best friend, Big Tom--or risk excruciating pain; the elves and the pixies are both trying to find the Portal Sites, but they hate one another; and Vincent has to try and avoid Barnaby, the school bully, who loves using Vincent as a punching bag, while trying to figure out if Barnaby's father's company, the Alphega Corporation is involved in any of this.

Vincent is in a race against time as one obstacle after another wastes precious moments that could save the lives of everyone that Vincent holds dear.

EPOCH by Timothy Carter provides a unique outlook on the End Times, and does it with a heavy dose of humor. His characters are funny and sarcastic, but in the end most of them are trying to do the right thing--save lives (whether that be their own or others.) Vincent is a truly sympathtic character who is at the mercy of his parents' and brother's beliefs in the Triumvirate, and Carter does an excellent job of portaying--with humor--what a belief system taken to extreme measures can do. It is Vincent's decision to do whatever it takes to save people's lives--including going against his family's beliefs--which makes him stand out...and he does it at great cost.

This book could have used some minor editing, but the story captured me so deeply that almost nothing could pull me away. Carter knows what he's doing when it comes to writing for the teen market.

EPOCH by Timothy Carter will find its place among other fictional works about the End Times, and it will stand out because Carter dared to be funny about it.
