Rightful Dues: Jason Austin's "Dues of Mortality" Takes 1st Place in WritingRoom's Author Launch Contest
| Source: WritingRoom
WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, OH--(Marketwire - December 11, 2008) - There's a new voice on the
literary scene -- as powerful as it is palpable, Jason Austin and his debut
novel, "Dues of Mortality," proves a stunningly original debut novel and
swipes first place winner of WritingRoom's Author Launch Contest.
The story focuses on the unfolding of extreme circumstances and the alchemy
of chance, or, the not so randomness of events that coalesce, essentially
sealing one's fate -- and that of the future itself.
Ambitiously and fantastically set against a Futuristic Sci-Fi, 2021
Cleveland back-drop, Austin's tale of redemption, choice and ultimately
consequence, lead our faltering hero Xavier Clyde Hawkins down a spiraling
whirlwind of self contempt, unraveling conspiracy and monolithic corporate
corruption.
When Hawkin's life auspiciously collides with the bold and arresting Glenda
Jameson, both lives take a tumultuous turn as unexpected as it is unnerving
in what New York Times best selling Author Jon Land calls, "A major debut."
Land goes onto say, "Austin ably follows the trail blazed by such thriller
greats as Steve Berry, Vince Flynn and James Rollins -- this is a writer we
will almost certainly be seeing for a long time to come."
WritingRoom.com -- an inspired online community for aspiring writers to
engage with and appraise one another's work -- considers Jason Austin's
"Dues of Mortality" exemplary of the kind of fierce writing that the Author
Launch Contest was created to celebrate and support!
The promise of thirty-eight year old Jason Austin -- a Warrensville
Heights, Ohio native -- with this staggering debut seems, not unlike the
unfolding of his stories... almost preordained.
"DUES OF MORTALITY" is published by PublishingRoom.com. "DUES OF MORTALITY"
will be available in the PublishingRoom bookstore and online at Amazon and
BN on October 2008.
