The Know It All
That’s the working title for the YA Fantasy/Conspiracy novel I’m working on. I actually logged about 15,000 words for the book and then had a revelation that was so tight it forced me to start over again a week ago. I’ve since logged around 10,000 brand new words. I’m excited for this, to say the least.
It’s the story about a kid named Hector who, from the moment he was born, knew everything that there ever was to know; past, present, and future. The only thing he doesn’t know is how it is he knows everything, and this mystery will launch him on a cross-country adventure to a top-secret government lab to find some answers. His traveling companion, Stewart Friedman, is a man who spent the first forty years of his life just sitting around his apartment staring at walls and the past twelve years of his life in prison and mental institutions for attempting to blow up the San Francisco-based lab. His motivations are a mystery to everyone, including Stewart. They make the journey across the country being pursued by government agents as well as a group of people that even the Know It All can’t discover a thing about.
The first book is a self-contained story with plenty of little mysteries left over that would hopefully explode into the bigger story in future books (I need to get the first one published so let’s not get ahead of ourselves). I’ve been having a blast writing this and I hope people dig it when/if it eventually drops. So look for progress on that project as well as little snippets as I write them.
