About David Litwack:
The urge to write first struck at age sixteen when working on a newsletter at a youth encampment in the woods of northern Maine. It may have been the wild night when lightning flashed at sunset followed by the
northern lights rippling after dark. Or maybe it was the newsletter’s editor, a girl with eyes the color of the ocean. But he was inspired to write about the blurry line between reality and the fantastic.
northern lights rippling after dark. Or maybe it was the newsletter’s editor, a girl with eyes the color of the ocean. But he was inspired to write about the blurry line between reality and the fantastic.
There Comes a Prophet is his first novel in this new stage of life. His second book, Along the Watchtower, will be available June 2013. And The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky is nearing completion.
David and his wife split their time between Cape Cod, Florida and anywhere else that catches their fancy. He no longer limits himself to five pages a day and is thankful every keystroke for the invention of the word processor.
About the Books:
Along the Watchtower A Tragic Warrior Lost in Two Worlds… The war in Iraq ended for Lieutenant Freddie Williams when an IED
explosion left his mind and body shattered. Once he was a skilled gamer and an
expert in virtual warfare. Now he’s a broken warrior, emerging from a medically
induced coma to discover he’s inhabiting two separate realities. The first is
his waking world of pain, family trials, and remorse—and slow rehabilitation
through the tender care of Becky, his physical therapist. The second is a dark
fantasy realm of quests, demons, and magic that Freddie enters when he sleeps.
In his dreams he is Frederick, Prince of Stormwind, who must make sense of his
horrific visions in order to save his embattled kingdom from the Horde. His
only solace awaits him in the royal gardens, where the gentle words of the beautiful
gardener, Rebecca, calm the storms in his soul. While in the conscious world,
the severely wounded vet faces a strangely similar and equally perilous
mission—a journey along a dark road haunted by demons of guilt and memory—and
letting patient, loving Becky into his shuttered heart may be his only way out
of Hell.
A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a
terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran
rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an
era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay
with “temple magic” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly
caused the destruction of everything.
A restless dreamer, Nathaniel has always
lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for something more but
unwilling to challenge the unbending status quo. When his friend Thomas returns
from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds
young men and women eternally to the Light—Nathaniel can barely recognize the
broken and brooding young man the boy has become. And when the beautiful Orah
is summoned as well, Nathaniel knows he must somehow save her. But in the
prisons of Temple City he discovers a terrible secret that launches the three
of them on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in dire
jeopardy. For a truth from the past awaits them there that threatens the
foundation of the Temple. But if they reveal that truth the words of the book
of light might come to pass:
“If there comes among you a prophet saying ‘Let
us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to
thrust you away from the light.”
