The Cavalry

About the Book

Garrison, the main character, is coping from the death of his father. He has just started high school with his friends, Brandon and Will. While they are in class, Garrison can’t stop thinking about what he saw that morning—men loading a van with guns. Suddenly, he hears marching footsteps, then silence. All he hears is ticking, and before he realizes what it is, an explosion throws him across the room, killing half of his class. The leader of the hostile group, Julian, awakens the other survivors and makes himself clear that no one is coming for them and that they won’t hesitate to kill them. Garrison and his friends take it upon themselves to escape with as many students as they can find. But there is something Garrison doesn’t know about himself, and he intends to find out what it is, even if he must cross a line he can’t come back from.

About the Author

I was born and raised in Florida and I loved reading fiction novels. When I was little I would write poetry, short stories, and even a personal comic book series. Seeing those stories create a different world inspired me to write my first novel. I won an award for honorable mention at the 26th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration & Monument Dedication and have earned Sun Sentinel’s Certificate of Recognition almost all my life.
