the Runner

Tracker Flash Fiction #1

Amos was running long before he knew he was a Runner. The trauma from his twelfth year drove him, stalking his dreams, corroding his waking hours.

He did his best to control it, to put a clamp on the accusing inner voice, to block out the recurring nightmares.

Over time, he’d learned how to cope, to carve out a semblance of normalcy in the chaotic world they’d inherited after the Hoarders abandoned them.

Until the day it was confirmed by Doc Simon: the hated Hoarders had buried an Implant in his body — somewhere. And now he was fully a Runner, a human time bomb, and a threat to anyone close to him if his Implant activated.

And he was also a target for the subhuman Trackers. The blood-thirsty creatures would stop at nothing until they’d gutted him for the microtechnology hidden in his body.

So Amos did what any Runner would do.

Why YOU Should Attend a Writing Conference

October 25, 2019 Deven Kane Comments 0 Comment

I’m a big fan—and shameless advocate for—writing conferences. It doesn’t matter where you’re at in your writing journey. It’s in your best interests to attend a writing conference as often as you can.

At the very least, you’ll find yourself surrounded by other people as book-nerdy as you. Creative souls who can encourage, challenge, sharpen and cheer you on.

Foreshadowing the New Release: Tracker

October 23, 2019 Deven Kane Comments 0 Comment

The first book in the Tracker Trilogy, available November 6, 2019.

Two generations ago, Earth’s richest citizens—the Hoarders—seized control of the planet’s resources, retreated into their heavily guarded Enclaves, and left the rest of the population to fend for itself.

Until recently, when the Hoarders began to randomly implant people with a new kind of micro-technology, capable of converting their unsuspecting hosts into violent and deadly automatons. They also created the Trackers, chemically and mechanically enhanced creatures fanatically devoted to hunting down and killing anyone unlucky enough to have an Implant.

Amos Morgan and Aubrey Carter, together with a small band of fellow Runners, must unravel the mystery, racing against time before the Trackers discover them.

And before their own Implants change them into . . .

Something else.

Before the Trackers, survival was easy.

Prequel to the Tracker Trilogy: Rubicon

October 9, 2019 Deven Kane Comments 0 Comment

In the not-so-distant future . . .

The Enclave’s walls are impenetrable, insulating society’s richest — the Hoarders — inside their protective barriers. Outside, the majority of humanity is left to survive as best they can.

Two generations later, the Hoarders began kidnapping and experimenting on those outside their walls. The Implants — micro-technology surgically forced on their unwitting victims — convert ordinary people into lethal time bombs waiting to activate.

Thomas and Sarah are on the run, narrowly eluding the Trackers, the sub-human killing machines programmed and deployed by the Hoarders to exterminate anyone with an Implant.

The young couple’s instinct for survival is second only to their determination to save their friends, victims of the Implants, from certain annihilation.

This isn’t what their first year of marriage was supposed to look like.

And the Trackers are closing in.
