Needing to reconnect after the death of Mary, the mother and wife who held her family together with her strongly held convictions, Ricky and his father Al are on a surfing vacation in Guatemala on the year anniversary of her death. They come across a long hidden Mayan tablet with a secret code that could bring the world to an end if it gets into the hands of the Santos Muertos, a death cult bent on setting the stage for a global meltdown. Ricky keeps the tablet against his father's wishes, and, in a nighttime raid, Al is kidnapped by the Santos and carried off to their compound beneath the Canadian oil tar belt in northern Alberta, where Ricky must find him and rescue him. 

SAVIOR, set in a dystopic contemporary America, tells of a young man's  quest to find his father and in the process save the world from destruction -- while his father resists despair, torture and brainwashing at the hands of Samael Chagnon, the leader of the Santos Muertos. At a deeper level, SAVIOR is about a father and son finding faith through sacrifice and love for each other.

Savior will be published by Harvard Square Editions, a small literary press, in ebook format in early 2014. This is a milestone for me. After three self-published novels, SAVIOR will be the first to be brought out by a legitimate publisher. But with no money for marketing from the publisher, it could be an empty triumph. This book needs and deserves to find an audience. This project will give the book a chance to find readers and for readers to find it. With help from Indiegogo backers, a marketing campaign will ensure that SAVIOR will reach bloggers, reviewers, book clubs and media outlets to get the word out. A focused and professionally run social media campaign, along with YouTube videos and media appearances, will complement the outreach to influential readers. I'm aiming for the bare bones level of support that a book marketing campaign will take. No fancy press conferences, no lavish book signing tours. Instead, a smart, targeted campaign for a community of readers of dystopian, literary and science fiction genres. Are you in?

The immediate goal for the Savior project on Indiegogo is creating a buzz around the launch of the ebook. My aim is to have substantial AUTHENTIC positive reviews across Amazon, Goodreads and the blogging community by the summer, to gain thousands of new readers, and to spread awareness of the Savior brand across the social media landscape. If my initial funding target is met, these goals can be accomplished. If funding goes beyond the initial stage, the reach goal is to push on to a paperback edition.
