L. A. Patrick’s highly anticipated debut young adult sci-fi novel is publishing next week!

FALLS CHURCH, Va. - Oct. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- It is the year 2063. Jeremy wants a Pan Limbic Universal Gadget (PLUG) in the worst way. How else can he compete with his plugged-in peers and become a famous astrophysicist when he grows up? But his parents have other ideas, including a secret genetic project which promises to unlock paranormal traits in their children as they enter puberty…a project which might explain the large number of near fatal accidents Jeremy has survived since infancy…a project easily invaded by evil forces. Project Paranormal is a mixture of time travel, an immortal evil spirit, and politics.

L. A. Patrick’s debut young adult sci-fi novel Project Paranormal (250 pp and $14.95) is released on October 21, 2015 by Parkgate Press / Dionysus Books.

A review by K. G. McAbee, Winner of Dream Realm Award for Best Young Adult Fantasy, says:

“Time travel: check. Evil spirit: check. Genetic manipulation: check. Paranormal abilities: check. Shaken, not stirred, into the beginning of a new YA series with some of the best writing I’ve seen lately. Get a copy of L. A. Patrick’s Project Paranormal and enjoy an unputdownable debut novel!”

Dr. John Sheffield, Winner of the 2015 Southeastern Writers Association’s Edna Sampson Award, says:

“Project Paranormal is an intriguing fantasy that explores the challenges faced by children and teenagers with genetically-engineered abilities. The imaginative plot has them being manipulated by and fighting against a time-traveling, evil spirit, who has a disturbing vision of a future world. The author has created a fascinating set of paranormal settings as a backdrop to this coming of age novel.”

L. A. Patrick lives in Murfreesboro, North Carolina with her husband, Jim Guthrie, and their three cats. As Amy R. Wethington, she is Associate Professor of Biology at Chowan University. Her website is http://www.lapatrick.com.
