When the next change in human evolution comes, it's not what anyone expects. Crouched in a ravine in Montana, Arvin Samuels takes aim at a cougar that has been stalking the herd on his uncle's farm. At the moment the bullet tears through the wildcat, something happens to Arvin. At the same moment, the same thing happens to Sylvia Bostic, a worker at a homeless shelter a thousand miles away, and to Jen Brunt, a nine-year old girl bouncing on the trampoline her father gave her for her birthday. None of them anticipated or wanted what happened to them, but the moment Arvin shoots the cougar, their lives are forever altered. And so is the human race. None of them - or the others that follow - want the changes happening to them, and none of the can control when it happens. When a doctor investigating what he believes to be a disease afflicting these changed people is found murdered, curiosity turns to alarm, and the changed become the hunted. Called "Squatters" by those who fear them, the changed, as they find each other, refer to themselves as "The Weavers," and begin to work at ways not only to keep themselves safe, but to change the rest of the world, as well. Amazon reviewers have called Somewhere Never Traveled "a compelling, thought-provoking read," and "...breathtaking..." In the opinion of one reader, it is "simply the best book I've read in years." Somewhere Never Traveled is Book One in The Weavers trilogy. Book Two, tentatively titled, Things Which Enclose, will be posted in 2016.
