Avril Lyric — The Origin of a New Species

This is an adventure fantasy novel set in the year 2030. The theme centers around child abduction, as the heroine, Avril, also a victim of abduction, finds herself in an unfamiliar place and time. Avril teams up with a tech-savvy young teen, Ayan, to rescue their friends from being turned into a new species.

Background:

This story began as a graphic novel. A friend suggested I write it as an entire novel a few years ago. After letting it sink in for a while, I set out to write it. The result has been remarkable. The writing evolved as if taking a life of its own into unexpected thematic elements that would have been difficult to do as a graphic novel. The novel is completed, and I would like to get it reviewed before I attempt to find a publisher.

Having a second opinion other than mine would be nice since mine would be biased. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
Please be honest but kind. Like Neil Young’s song says: “I’ve been searching for a heart of gold,” but mine is still made of glass. 🙂

    It has promise! I’d like to see the completed work when done.
