The Lamp

Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

This is Book One of the Lamp Series. THE LAMP is a fast-paced dystopian thriller that's full of surprises and sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. They called him Levi the Leveler because of his frightening power. A terror in the boxing ring, most of his opponents didn't make it past the first round. But after a careless decision sends him into exile for seven years, Levi returns to a life in ruins: his fiancé has split, his friends and money gone. Once a notable figure with more money than he could ever spend, Levi must now contend with life as a regular citizen, trying to make ends meet doing menial labor as a handyman in a downtown apartment building. He soon befriends a smart teenage grifter and a spunky tenant in his building who remembers his former glory days. But not everything is what it seems, and dangers lurk in the shadows. As Levi struggles to pick up the pieces of his life, he receives an unusual inheritance from the mysterious figure known simply as K.S. He quickly learns that this gift is precious beyond value, and carries with it a unique power. This gift, however, proves costly as a fearsome enemy now hunts him and Levi is forced to become its protector while uncovering the mystery of K.S. and looking after those entrusted to him.

Thus Begins a Journey

The Lamp Series is what I consider a "quiet epic." It's a story that spans ages but takes place in the trenches of a familiar time and place. And although the sweep of the story is massive, it all started here, with this quiet little scene on a deserted city street. Levi is introduced as a guy who welcomes confrontation, drives a beat up car but wears suits. It's the introductory scene of a character you soon get to know very well, along with his full pantry of quirks. He becomes a friend and someone you root for. Levi's story spans 4 books, but this scene was the only thing I had in mind when I began typing my quiet epic. The story just took on a life of its own from this point forward.
