About The Legend
of the Firewalker
Title: The Legend of the Firewalker
Author: Steve Bevil
Genre: YA Paranormal Fantasy / Action Adventure
A
black hooded figure suddenly appeared behind her. She gasped and her brown eyes
grew wide. Nathan watched helplessly as a small trickle of blood fell from her
mouth.
Other
hooded figures appeared; their silver swords clutched upright against their
chests. Nathan held tight to her lifeless body while trying to fight back the
tears that swelled in his eyes. “No,” he cried. “No!”
Nineteen-year-old
Nathan Urye is supposed to be having a relaxing summer as a camp counselor but
ever since he started having nightmares about a beautiful girl being hunted by
flesh-clawing monsters, his life has been anything but normal.
Soon,
Nathan discovers that the sleepy college town of Cahokia Falls is far from
ordinary when two unexplained deaths rock the town and campus. Who or what is
behind the murders? Does it have anything to do with the newly-discovered cave
symbol? And what about the spine-chilling campfire stories about ancient tribal
beliefs and mystical legends?
For
Nathan Urye, things just keep getting creepier and creepier, and now it appears
that everyone at camp is in danger…
What the reviewers are saying…
"Starting
with chapter one this book held my attention. The legends in the book told
around the campfire gave me goose bumps and the supernatural creatures;
Necrocritters, dark hooded guards with swords and red hooded priests added a
lot of layers to this story. Not to mention the Fallen Ones!
At
times I wasn’t sure how things would play out because there were so many
challenges facing Nathan and his friends. I really enjoyed the climax of the
book and could easily see this book adapted as a movie. I can’t wait to see
what's in store for Nathan and his friends...but you have to read the book to
see if they all make it out" ~Reviewer
"It’s
terrific! I love your wise-cracking hero, who finds himself thrust into these
bizarre circumstances with no real guide. And I love the set up of the
supernatural world and these well-defined characters. The supernatural conflict
and the relationships that took root here will be able to take you through book
after book. That eerie, spirit realm where everything is gray except for the
people – sound doesn't behave as it should – and objects are frozen in place,
is really imaginative and creepy. It’s got a strong cinematic feel and it
creates tremendous atmosphere. In short, you’ve done some terrific world
building here that’s highly imaginative and peopled with appealing, interesting
characters we can care about." ~Reviewer
Author Bio
Steve Bevil, the author of The Legend of the Firewalker series,
recalls vividly as a child running to the library to check-out and read the
latest The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books. He started writing short stories at
a young age, but never took writing seriously, and as an adult, would only
write to jot down the many storylines and mystical characters he would often
fantasize in his head.
It wasn't until he was inspired by
the story of author Stephanie Meyer, a stay-at-home mother of three and
Christopher Paolini, the author of the Inheritance Cycle, that he entertained
the idea of writing a book. Steve recalls sitting at his computer one day,
after reading promotional emails announcing the latest books, daydreaming a
dialogue between two people.
"It was just so Harry
Potter-esque as far as the classic story of good versus evil. I just kept
getting more and more detail; it was like the story wanted to be written, there
were so many layers to it. I had first and last names, character back history,
and everything. Immediately, I started writing."
After months and months of
developing the plot and writing, the end result was his first book in the
series, The Legend of the Firewalker. The daydream, a dialogue between two of
the main characters; Nathan Urye and Stephen Malick, ended up appearing in
Chapters 11 and 16.
Steve Bevil graduated from Eastern
Illinois University with a Master's degree in Communication. He is a native of
Chicago, Illinois and when he isn't writing, enjoys music, watching movies,
fitness, and walks with his little Westie, Wyatt.
