The Secret Root

This blog is devoted to the YA thriller THE SECRET ROOT by D.S. Cahr, just released by Green Flyer Press. The official website is at http://www.thesecretroot.com

Sometimes time is not on your side, and 15 year-old Jared Garber is about to find that out the hard way. Without warning, the entire Garber family is ripped from their Kansas home, separated, and transported into a distant and perplexing future. Disconnected from everything he understands, Jared must quickly learn how and why he was taken from his prior life.

Back in Kansas, news of the Garber family disappearance has spread like wildfire. When Edie Boyd receives ominous notes in her school locker that ask difficult questions about the nature of time, she knows they have to be about the Garbers. Whoever knows the truth is trying to let Edie in on the secret. But when she and her friend Meg investigate they are sent to a time when their own families believe them dead, their friends are all adults, and the world has been radically transformed.

Stuck in a time that is most definitely not their own, they can’t just click their heels three times to return home. Instead, Edie and Meg are forced to make a dangerous journey across the country to confront the man who sent them into the future. Meanwhile, Jared must help Edie learn the truth about their world and come to terms with the frightening reality of who they really are.

With action in cyberspace and reality colliding through parallel worlds full of vibrant characters and thrilling suspense, The Secret Root is a dramatic ride through mind-bending dimensions, wild technology and unfamiliar territory that stretches to the ends of time…and beyond.

Available through Amazon and your local independent bookstore. ISBN-13: 978-0615581286

  • Why writers should be patient

    Lev Grossman, who wrote the absolutely amazing (and bestselling!) novels ”The Magicians” and “The Magician King” explains how hard it is to get published.  The fact that someone as astonishingly awesome as Lev Grossman took that many years to get published should give everyone hope.
