Device

by S.D. Rudd

FROM THE BACK COVER:

My powers have increased since leaving the house. Everything I do now seems to come more natural to me than ever before. I still remember my name...Alan Charms. The day is getting older. It won't be long before I'm right back in that house with Camille and the creature.

Camille. There is something strange about that woman. She has no last name, no birthplace and no signs of human emotions. The woman scares me. She knows too much. And my time is running out...

I am Alan Charms...yes...I still remember. I suspect my father is working on a dangerous invention that I also suspect the government wants. But why? Shawn Ramsey, his right hand man, has his hand too deep in my father's cookie jar. I remember that too.

And Monica...my beautiful Monica. I saw her; the Frenchman is using her for something. I'll find out, find her, and open up a few arteries on the way out. I'm not a killer but I'll be one today. The black water corrupted me and I wish I could become pure again. Yet, I know that can never happen. It won't happen...at least not today.

Biography

Rudd was born into a family of federal government contractors. Because of his parents’ ever changing work he often moved to different cities or states, as their assignments relocated. Rudd learned how to make friends fast at a very young age. Eventually, he became a loner, spending most of his free time reading suspense thriller and fantasy fiction novels.

When Rudd grew up, he worked in the federal government as a contractor in procurement. Later, he ventured out into the private sector, working as a technician for computers, large printers and cable. But being a technician could not quench his thirst for creativity. In 2006, he changed careers again and entered into the marketing field. Throughout his various careers, Rudd wrote suspense thriller and fantasy fiction in his spare time as a hobby.

During his marketing career, a very successful one at that, a friend stumbled upon Rudd’s first novel Seer, which was entitled In The Blood at the time. After reading it within a few hours, and falling in love with the characters, she urged him to publish it, and to write more.

Rudd’s novels have hit Amazon’s top 10 best sellers list several times for fantasy and suspense, outselling many well-known authors at various times. His novel Black Water (book one of The Nest Series) is quickly gaining a strong fan base. Rudd has become a social media sensation with over 2700 Facebook fans, over 8000 Twitter followers and growing. He resides in the mountains of Charles Town, West Virginia.
