  • description: Using a little self-humiliation to act as incentive for your support. Chapter One is now available as a free download (pdf) on the project page. http://www.indiegogo.com/much-is-taken The Story Much is Taken is the first in a trilogy of books named The Neverman Chronicles. This series follows the life and trials of the world's only immortal as he evolves from a comically inept hunter-gatherer to a true master of the modern age. Drawn to history's greatest events by an instinct he can neither understand nor resist, he has been our ever-present witness. But now that instinct is telling him to run. A shadow is falling over the wounded city that he calls home, one which threatens to undo all that he has fought so hard to protect. Racing against time and unseen foes he must discover whether he has the strength to deny his own destiny and save us from ourselves. Never before has so much been at stake, never before has he had so much to lose. The Author I'm a daydreamer, a ginger, and an unrepentant sci-fi junkie. I got hooked on the genre when I was a kid and I've been devouring it ever since. I love all the what ifs and why nots that can be explored within the covers of a good science-fiction story. So, when a 'what if' of my own presented itself, I wrote it down and then I wrote some more. Next thing I knew I had a three book story arc, a chapter by chapter overview for the first installment, and twenty chapters worth of first draft. This was all done while studying full time (science, of course) and being randomly jumped on by my awesome two-year-old daughter. How awesome you ask? Well one of her first words was 'dinosaur', so yeah, THAT awesome. Now the summer is here and, with your help, I have the chance to see this project through to the end.
