The Forgotten Road

The Forgotten Road

Jake Clarke is 16 years old and all alone in the rugged Northern Manitoba wilderness after his mother and grandfather die, and his father goes missing while trying to find help.

Jake’s journey home reveals that entire villages have become graveyards, and the first person he encounters alive is willing to murder to stop Jake from rescuing a young girl he has abducted. Jake must race against the weather, the wilderness and a man determined to keep his secret, even if it kills them all.

This novel of approximately 90,000 words was written in 2008-2010. I am currently searching for both an agent and a publisher.

Read the First Chapter

This novel was written in 1993-1994, and is approximately 160000 words. It is currently being re-edited and will soon be distributed to family and friends for review. I'm not sure whether or not I will ever publish this, but if I do, it will probably be via Self-Publishing, unless people really like it. It's got some holes in the plot now since the book is 16 years old, and will take a lot of work and research to make relevant once again.
