Overview

"Here is the first 114 pages and the synopsis of Margins, a speculative fiction novel and the first of a planned series called River Walker. The novel follows the main character as he comes to terms with his postcognitive gift maturing and reunites other lost brethren across the globe, while evading and planning a way to defeat a mysterious man that needs his blood. This novel uses chronic migraine mixed with a fantastical ability to elicit an emotional response and blend reality with fiction. It being set Boston helps blur the lines of what is real and fiction. The use of a character that some would think is an average joe or a loser depending on the upward mobility of the reader tackles some truths about presumptions of those that live on the margins of society." -- Abstract
