Armadron: The Otherworld Series: Book 1
($2.82 shipping)
For weeks, fifteen-year-old Scott Farranger has been experiencing strange seizures. And whenever he does, even stranger things happen.
Fire hydrants explode.
The earth moves underfoot like a giant snake.
A shimmering body of floating water materializes above his head.
And his mysterious powers are growing stronger.
Nothing makes sense, until Scott is sucked into a wormhole and finds himself on Armadron, a planet under siege where no one is who they seem to be.
When Scott realizes the safety of his family, the girl he loves, and humanity as he knows it is at risk, he aligns himself with a secretive group of young people with their own supernatural abilities, and the battle to save Armadron—and Earth—begins.
About the Author
Welcome to coreytatebooks.com!
I wrote Armadron as the planned first book in a six part series. I wrote it during my time in the military, and I had a ton of fun doing so. Now that it’s finished, my next book Zwataru is actively being worked on, and will be released next spring.
A little about me: I grew up around the foster care system. I’ve seen and lived with hundreds upon hundreds of troubled kids. Reading books allowed me to escape the problems of the real world early on in life. It allowed me to travel to different worlds so that I could experience life vicariously through different authors’ eyes. Now I want to give the same opportunity to other kids and young adults in my own way!
A QUICK PEEK INTO WHAT GOT ME STARTED
I first wrote Armadron when I was in early high school, in Mrs. Fields’ class. The first draft was five or six measly pages and I had no idea back then that I was about to build a whole new universe. I used to love standing in front of the class and being the class nerd by reading my journal entries for English class to my teachers and classmates. Some of my classmates even gave me their stories to read out loud because they were too shy and just wanted their stories to be heard.
I put Armadron on the back burner for a while after that. I told myself that I was too busy so I stopped writing. It wasn’t until junior and sophomore year that I entertained the idea of 'The Otherworld Series' again and actually started to think of it as a possibility. My teachers Mrs. Ferrara and Mrs. Fields got me to a literary conference in New York, and it was there that I first realized I actually wanted to be a writer.
After about two years in the military I really started to weave my stories on my computer. I was inspired by the men and women that I worked with every day. They allowed me to push past the limits I'd previously set for myself and reach for this brave new universe.
WHY DID I KEEP AT IT, THOUGH?
As I said before, I wanted to help people. I also wanted to help myself, though. Writing and storytelling has gotten me through so much and I realized the true value of it when I went on my first ever military field exercise. Navigating through long ruck marches as an Air Force TACP, being placed into harsh training environments and enduring long hours allowed me to finally think about my stories. It provided me with the opportunity to put ideas to paper and to make others laugh and feel something--especially in the most difficult, desperate times.
THE GOAL OF THIS SITE
Affect change and inspire people! If I can get my books published in libraries then millions of kids and young adults can read my books someday, and maybe that’ll inspire them to reach further. Even just getting a few people through the harder points in their lives is a big win.
