It’s time again for the Indie Books column. Sage Arroway is an indie author with a lot of energy and spirit and is launching her new series of books today, aiming to fill the void of Twilight, but much, much more readable. Apollo Rising is the first in a planned trilogy and is a suspenseful read. Who doesn’t love stories about werewolves? Especially if they’re cooler than the whiny brats of Twilight.
If you’re into books like this, this is your shot to get in on the ground floor for something that is sure to be huge in the very near future.
I hope you’ll give Sage a shot and check out what she has to offer, but the rest comes from her in her own words:
My name is Sage – not like the herb, but like an old wise man – Arroway. I prefer the latter (even though I’m not old, or a man) only because I’d like to think of myself as somewhat witty, or at least model myself after someone who is. Joss Whedon is the first of those to come to mind, just in case you were wondering.
As a storyteller, I have always loved movies with strong protagonists, clever humor and real life situations – even when the world in which they live is crawling with alien robots, or in this case, werewolves. It’s the human condition to fall in love with characters that you can relate to. So, I strive to write mine with the kind of lovable and redeeming qualities you might find in Holly Golightly and the undeniable character flaws of Han Solo. Throw in some ruthless politics (like we all experienced this last election season), a compromising situation that’ll make a desperate housewife blush, a dark secret or two and, ladies and gentlemen, you’ve got Apollo Rising, my first full-scale novel due for release November 15, 2012.Apollo Rising, the first book in The Apollo Saga, is a deeply suspenseful, contemporary story set in the fantasy world of Apollo City, filled with romance, real life and werewolves. Think, Twilight (for adults) meets Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, shaken, not stirred. Sure, it’s a romance, but it’s also a paranormal drama that pulls you into a mysterious underworld of power, blackmail and “basic instinct.” As a fellow geek, I know that’s enough to get my blood pumping! And if that weren’t enough, the love scenes in this book are to die for.
