With the release date of CREED rapidly
approaching, Lindsay and I have been fielding questions about what our
co-authored voice sounds like, how
psychologically twisted our collective mind is, and do I need to read all of
your co-authored pieces with the lights on?
Rather than simply answer those questions, we
thought we’d take it one step further and actually show you! We toyed with
writing a prequel-type novella to set the stage for CREED, but you know us…why
write a novella to CREED when you can give them an entirely different book to
enjoy!
After much discussion with our agents and an
enthusiastic ‘go for it’ from our
publisher, we have decided to utilize Wattpad to give the world a sneak peek at
what they can expect from our co-authored voice. So here it is, a new,
psychologically twisted, co-authored YA Thriller.
“The darkness would've scared me years ago, but not anymore. If you couldn't see it,
then you didn't know it was there to be afraid of.”
~Jake Holloway, SILO
About SILO:
A year after a solar storm plunges the world into total darkness,
seventeen-year-old Jake Holloway finds himself holed-up in an abandoned,
cold-war missile silo with two of his high school friends, Keith Pressman and
Evan Jensen. Stranded with nothing more than the clothes on their backs, they
are fighting for survival against a society that has turned on itself.
When their desperation for food and additional supplies reaches an
unbearable level, they are forced to go topside. They plan to slip into the
surrounding silos undetected, taking only what they need. But their moral code
of not taking from the living comes crashing down when they find the
unthinkable—a girl, Meredith, bloodied and bruised, huddled into the corner and
refusing to speak or move.
Haunted
by her broken frame and vacant eyes, Jake can’t stomach leaving her behind to
fend for herself. Foregoing the supplies they originally came her, Jake
brings her home, promising her safety. But it isn't long before
Meredith’s presence triggers a series of unexplainable attacks which
turn their underground haven into nothing more than a steel trap. Soon,
protecting Meredith becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse…one in which not
everyone will survive.
Starting
today, we will be sharing a chapter a week of our co-authored book, SILO, on
Wattpad for the world to enjoy, hate, question our sanity, run screaming from…
The last chapter of the book will drop the week of November 8th, the
same week CREED releases!
So, go forth and be
appropriately frightened as you realize just what our twisted minds of capable
of. Spread the word, leave a comment on
Wattpad or simply enjoy the book in the dark confines of your own home. And remember to follow the book on Wattpad, so you can be notified when new content goes up!
