Fractures: Crossing Over

All Sonny Benson wants is his pride back. Well, that and lots and lots of money, but what's the difference really?

Haunted by his sinking product design career, Sonny is desperate to succeed.  While visiting his prodigiously brilliant but socially incompetent best friend, Henry O’Shea, Sonny learns of Henry’s new discovery that is certain to give his career the edge he has been searching for. 

Henry has transformed an ordinary door into a gateway bridging the void leading to fractured realities of Earth. Using his decades of experience in sales and emotional manipulation, Sonny convinces his pure hearted friend to allow him to use the door and bring back technology that can be reverse-engineered and sold back in his own reality (for a generous profit, of course).

Sonny’s plan seems to be working until he inadvertently catches the attention of a dark and ominous figure on the other side of the door who is determined to hunt and capture them at any cost. Relentlessly pursued through the fractures, Sonny and Henry realize they have become assets in a cross-dimensional power grab that threatens to end their lives and their home world, blackmailing them into cross-fracture espionage. 

FRACTURES: CROSSING OVER – A 72,000 word soft science fiction that offers clean perspectives on the moral conflicts and physical dangers that arise when fractured histories collide. Instead of using the popular butterfly effect theory, the story explores the idea that only key persons contain the influence to alter the course of history. It points to the dangers in bio-contamination, political entrapment and cross-reality corruption. 

This novel was written as my Masters capstone thesis at Tiffin University. Along with my MH with a concentration in English, I earned a BA in English Literature from Brigham Young University. I am currently a Curriculum Design and Content Editor at Western Governors University. I strive to compose literature with themes that will resonate with adult readers but will be non-offensive to younger readers.
