Self Convictions Hot

Long before "Heroes" was a popular television series, author R.J. Hamilton was writing a story in his mind about a young man with extraordinary powers. The protagonist of Self Convictions, Brandon Hudson, has the power of telekinesis. Not tamely moving pens across a table, but a great force that seems to come from inside of his head, someone else's voice and unchecked emotions, willing him to commit murderous and appalling acts. As Brandon grows from childhood to early adulthood, he discovers the strength and intensity of his "alter-ego" powers, as well as a growing tension of both loving and hating what they--he--can do. Each act seems more hideous than the last, and yet he manages, just barely, to retain his sanity--and some conscience.

The story moves along at a good clip, so you may have to force yourself to slow down and savor the unexpected and original storyline developments, which I won't divulge -- better that you should enjoy finding out for yourself.

As a first-time author, R. J. Hamilton is a natural writer with loads of talent and imagination; I anticipate that the next installment in this series will be even more compelling and well worth the wait. But please don't make us wait too long, R.J.!
