New Book titled: "The Guide" by: Justin Chandler

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Jan. 12, 2016 - PRLog -- DATELINE: Nick, a smart, capable young man is given Garron as a guide or mentor, but isn’t taking it without apprehension – who is this guy Garron?

So begins the foundation of Justin Chandler’s novel, The Guide, as Nick is guided by a person who is in fact himself; coming back from the future, to change the outcome of certain events and lead Nick to a better life.

Chandler had many challenges writing this book, as he explained during a recent interview with Pacific Book Review.  “Honestly, trying to write it from the viewpoint of a YA reader.”  He continued, “I’m only 21, but I still wanted to make sure that the book’s message and delivery were accessible for multiple age groups and cultures within that audience, but I’m pleased with the end result.”

He certainly should be.  The book appeals not only to students but also adult readers, as it educates while entertaining, a plurality of goals eloquently scribed in a fast-paced storyline.

Nick’s character finds much out about himself, through the interactions of his future-self guiding him.  This goal has been on Justin Chandler’s mind, as he said, “While simply knowing who you are as an individual is great, it’s what you do with that bit of personal trivia that sets the tone for your life.”  That is the moral of the storyline, and those that learn this lesson sooner rather than later are better off.

The Guide is available on Amazon and other Internet book retailers.
