'A Breach in the Boundary' is completed.


The first draft anyway.  Soon, once I've edited, edited and proofed and then edited some more, you will see some of it on a page here.  Maybe all, but probably not.  Maybe...Arg...Enough!  Possibly, I will post the entire thing.

But for now, you can read the summary, the tidbit, the smackeral of info to get you interested.

The Breach in the Boundary
During a break from lessons, eight year old Zach Hayden is surprised by the sudden appearance of a girl, wearing a long brown leather coat and military boots.  She materializes in the middle of the dirt road that runs in front of his house.  She seems delighted about something, but once she sees Zach she turns and runs away.
Zach soon realizes the girl is racing after a woman, with golden blond hair and the same long leather coat, who is also running on the dirt road.  The direction they are headed leads to an old, dilapidated farmhouse.  Fascinated and curious, Zach finds himself running after them - leaving his house, mother, father, brothers and the world he knows...forever. 
After hurriedly climbing a tree to get a better look, Zach hears the woman, Flin, pleading with someone she thinks is in the empty house.  She says there is a breach that has to be sealed - a breach in the boundary.  Zach is so focused on her and the girl, Emily, that inadvertently he follows them into a different world, a world where the run down house is a warm, cozy cottage and the dirt road he was running on doesn't exist.  After falling from the tree he meets Captain McNally, the leader of the Boundary Wardens, and soon finds himself on a ship headed out to a distant planet in search of a reclusive old man.
But before they get very far they are attacked.  In the next few hours Zach will find out he has a grandfather, who isn't from Earth, he will learn that in addition to crossing realities he can bend space and slow time, he will meet the fiercest pirate in the universe and he will become the centerpiece in Captain Mac's plan to close the breach permanently.
