Favorite writers: Generally, I go by book, rather than author. So I'm gonna say John Green, not just because he's an awesome writer, but also because he's an amzing person.

Brief Author Bio:

Hello :)
I'm a vegetarian Christian UK-based Nerdfighter, who reads too much, writes too little, and failed AS Maths. I think that covers everything.

Synopsis: Wings Of Stone

Shirda Brenley has made a lot of awful decisions recently. He decided to help the weird blonde kid at the market, (although in retrospect, this was less of a decision and more of an impulse move,) he decided to trust one of his oldest friends with his most valued secret, and he decided to let himself be kidnapped by the weird blonde kid, who has some screwed up ideas about the repayment of debts.

And so now he'd in the biggest city in the country, with the weird blonde kid and his merry band of rebels, who have somehow roped him into attempting to overthrow the big, powerful, omnipotent Government. Yep, the one which destroyed most of his village whilst he was being kidnapped by the blonde.

And worst of all, he's now being forced to face up to ethical dilemas, the sort he's never faced before- like whether any sort of order can come from anarchy, and how far he's truely willing to compromise his soul in order to save his little sister. It doesn't really seem fair that in the midst of a real battle, thats both violent and political, he's required to face 'arty-farty-airy-fairy' moral turmoil as well.

Throw in a sort-of love triangle that he hasn't quite noticed yet, and the fact that it's all set goodness knows how far into the future, and you get a novel I haven't quite found a genre for.
