Oblivion

by Harley Austin

Redmond High is like any other small-town high school—at least, that’s what they’d like you to believe. Rival schools hate them. It’s bad enough the football team is practically invincible; the cheerleaders unbelievably hot; the robotics lab shames MIT; and SAT scores are into the stratosphere. Everyone wants to be like them. That is, until popular students at the paragon school start turning up dead.

But with the city all but indifferent to the strange goings on, it doesn’t take long for the residents to begin raising questions about who is really running the small rural town.

Is their community infested with the spawn of “demons” who have taken over and now control not just the town, but the whole county as well? Or is there an even darker secret—one that lies just beneath the town’s idyllic façade, waiting to plunge the whole world into an inescapable—OBLIVION.

About the author

Born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I've spent most of my life writing. I am, at heart, a storyteller. As early as I can remember I have loved stories and loved telling them in my own inimitable way.

A Harley Austin book often defies the typical categories. A cross-genre author, you can find me writing stories that include classic romance, mystery, suspense, fantasy, and science fiction--and always with a heavy dose of the unexpected.

I am also an insufferable romantic and relationship junkie. A Harley Austin story will often include a steamy romance, often more than one, between a hero and heroine, or even between two heroes or two heroines. I will keep you guessing.

Story descriptions are important to me, and often the most difficult to write. It is always a balancing act to deliver a hard-hitting description of the book without giving too much of the story away. As such, a Harley Austin book description will often be a little shy on the details.

Harley Austin novels are also just that--novels. When you pickup one of my books you will get 300 to 400 or more pages of riveting story.

I don't do cliffhangers.

I also don't drag you into an book or milieu just so I can kill off beloved characters at the end. A book is much more than just entertainment. It is a time where you and I connect, and you graciously give me the power to lead you to a place of wonder. A story is something that is immersive, personal, where one feels like they know the people in the story deeply and intimately.

A Harley Austin romance is one can be loved and enjoyed by anyone, whether they are male or female. The fact is, I receive just as much rave response from men reading my stories as I do women. Again, the Harley Austin novel often defies categories and crosses numerous genres to weave a story that attracts readers from all walks of life.
