Surprising Discovery

Before I even created AstraDaemon's Lair, I read a flash fiction piece called, Late Bloomer by Christopher Robin Negelein in 2014. It is everything a short story should be! From the first sentence to the last sentence, it is non-stop entertainment. The story is told first-person, and the character has a lot of personality, with a great twist at the end. I thought the author should write a full-length novel with the storyline.

Instead, Negelein wrote a mini-series, which I didn't know about until this year. I rediscovered the first story while re-organizing my Kindle folders and did an Amazon search to see whatever became of the Bloom...I found three more stories, beginning with Second Bloom:

In this short story, Amy sees first hand the fallout from Late Bloomer and has two options, run and be forever hunted, or face the danger head on. Even if it means facing her own dark secrets.

Second Bloom picks up the storyline at the shocking moment of the twist in Late Bloomer, but switches POV to a girl named Amy. She decides to confront the self-proclaimed zombie-killing rock star. Not only does Amy have an apocalyptic secret, but the author also throws in yet another last minute surprise.

The story continues in Growing Bloom.

As always,
AstraDaemon
