Thick as Thieves on Lulu.com

I recently wrote a book; Thick as Thieves. Though I had a difficult time, it was well worth getting my book up on the web and for sale. The real focus of the cover is in the picture above. I drew that cover. No joke.

We start off with a young man; Keive. He’s a shape shifter. His sister, Alyssa, is ill and has been ill her entire life. He went into thieving to get enough money to get her sister better. But, one night, he runs into a stranger, who tries to rob Keive while Keive tries to rob him, and it all becomes a mess. Because of Alyssa’s recent pitfall in health, Keive sets out to get to another town to revive Alyssa. Though, without really knowing it, he brings the stranger along with them. Warren, the stranger, slowly realizes that his world isn’t so hopeless with Alyssa around. They go to Madame Ajille, a fortune teller that Keive has become acquainted with in the past, and she gives them a legendary stone that they could use to heal Alyssa. Problem is, they don’t know how to use the magic contained in it without the other two stones. So, after Alyssa passes on, they’re to set out for the other two stones so they can actually help her. Then Alyssa finally dies. I am such a hopeless romantic.

Now, this is how my book is not at all like any other book out there. That entire story up there, isn’t just a third person narrative, it’s a memory. A memory that a certain mind reader saw. Then it switches to a first person perspective, and gears entire change. Turns out that she’s the a princess of the country who ran away after killing her finance. Of course, this is all thanks to the not-so-popular-with-independent-youths-arranged marriage. Slowly, a greater conflict unfolds within the pages, and the future of the country falls into their hands. Sounds cliche, but the mastermind behind it all has family ties with a certain character; they just don’t know it yet. The book continues with heartbreaks, deaths, fights, crazy sailors, evil family, unknown brothers, misunderstanding fathers, curses, and even a cliffhanger of an ending.
