Nephilim

by Jonathan Temporal

Tompkins County, Upstate New York. Someone, something, is hunting the Nephilim, the halfling children of angels and humans. The predator known as the Afterburner is leaving clues, wanting to be pursued. The Afterburner's next target: 17-year-old Johnny Drake. But being top of a serial killer's hit list is just the newest addition to his growing list of problems. Johnny's quest to uncover the Afterburner's identity lures others too: a beautiful, scarred girl who flies, a woman who witnessed the angels' last descent, and a rogue angel who may be friend or enemy. As forces, both human and angelic, descend and threaten to break apart sleepy Ithaca, Johnny realizes that only he can stop the killer. His one chance lies in embracing his true nature and seeking help from unlikely allies. Even then, it may not be enough to stop his adversary, who is old, cunning and possesses powers he can only dream of. Survive. Unburned. NEPHILIM is a fast-paced, coming of age urban fantasy novel that follows Johnny's thrilling and dangerous journey as he learns his true nature and uses his new found power to stop a cunning, ethereal predator. Steeped in verisimilitude, NEPHILIM takes readers through the exotic plains of Cambodia, where an ancient myth has been brought to life, to the majestic mountains and splendid lakes of Upstate New York, where the echoes of a strange biblical legend reverberate in the lives of all-too real characters.

About the author

Jonathan’s mission is to Empower Humanity to Achieve the Grandest Possible Vision of their Lives through Writing.

As the author of WriteTech – one of the first ever books to present a complete course for igniting real, concrete and lasting changes in people’s lives, through the simple act of writing and using nothing more than a pen and paper – Jonathan is living this mission.

Jonathan has personally experienced the transformative power of writing many times over at the most critical times of his life. When he was only 12 years old, he learned the simple yet tremendously powerful technique of “thinking and decreeing” from one of the pioneers of the Science of Mind movement in Asia. It had such a profound impact on the young boy that from then on, he used this technique to achieve goals, find solutions to problems and receive guidance in times of trouble. Constantly curious and forever experimenting, Jonathan later developed his own writing techniques based on principles he learned from many diverse sources.

The result is WriteTech: a unique, simple, practical and effective system of 13 writing techniques meant to help people achieve audacious goals, breakthrough limiting beliefs, solve big problems and reengineer their lives.
