Elemental Book 1 The Bond by Xavier Axelson
Genre Horror/Dark Fantasy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Four men are about to discover things are definitely not what they seem…including themselves. Declan Makavoy, small town farmer and single father, finds out it’s not just his thumb that’s green. Ivan Soresceau, a local reporter, who always plays with fire in life and love, is about to discover what it means to be burned. Chester Silberglocke, the ailing but sage chiropractor, finds his death only the beginning of an atmospheric afterlife. Vinny Pirelli, the local swimming champ may make waves inside and outside the pool but has no idea he is the last piece in a dangerous and life-changing puzzle. Seduction and unearthly occurrences are only the beginning in what proves to be a race against time as Declan, Ivan, Chester, and Vinny are pitted against a dark force beyond imagination, in the ultimate battle of good versus evil.
Why did you write this book?
These characters are so strong their story begged to be told. I’ve always been fascinated by nature’s elemental powers and along with the idea that when crazy things happen in our lives we still have to get up, do laundry wash dishes, and I wanted to tell a story in which character’s are facing crazy circumstances but again, someone has to meet the kids at the bus, you go to work…even if there’s a goblin in the pumpkin patch.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Magical Realism
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Good question, there are so many. I think Blackberry from Watership Down, I like clever characters.
What are you working on at the moment?
The second book in the Elemental series!
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Well, besides Book 1 of the Elemental series, that’s probably going to be it for the moment. But, you never know!
