Today is the day Seattle finally has a hero worth reading
about.
Dear family and friends. I’ve just published the first issue in my action-adventure
series. The main character, Owen Ruger, has hit the ground running and ever since I first exposed the character and his adventures
to the literary public he’s gained praise.
Here’s what the authors who provided blurbs for my book said about
the first issue:
Author J.E. Braun of Paranoia wrote:
“The Man Beneath Lake Union is much like the ’79
Pontiac Trans Am that the hero, Owen Ruger, drives in the novel: sleek, fast, and fun. From the moment Nicholas Michniki touches
the red, oily substance in the water to the machine-gun paced climax, author C.L. Vaughn grabs the reader and takes them on
a wild adventure that bodes well for the future of the Owen Ruger franchise.
Set
in Seattle, The Man Beneath Lake Union is filled with vivid descriptions and rich details that bring the city and surrounding
areas to life, which is amazing, considering the story is less than one hundred pages long. There is no room for fluff or
pointless subplots. Vaughn knows that in such a small amount of space, every word matters, so each word seems to be chosen,
and each sentence seems to be crafted in such a way that makes them all count.
Still, Vaughn manages to not only provide the reader with a scintillating experience, but also to inject humor,
start a romance, and tackle a very controversial topic: genetic experimentation. Only a truly talented writer could do all
this in a way that is boiled down to the bare necessities and still ensure that the reader does not been short-changed.
I can attest that I did not feel short
changed. In fact, The Man Beneath Lake Union was so much more than I expected. I look forward to reading more of Owen Ruger’s
adventures.”

"C. L. Vaughn has written a fast paced tale
with great precision that will interest
young adults the world over. The Owen Ruger micro adventures are sure
to be a hit."
Author Rai Aren, co-author of Secret of the Sands wrote:
“The Man Beneath Lake Union is a
sexy high-octane marine adventure awash in breakneck action, mystery and thrills…
Like a fast-moving tide, The Man Beneath Lake Union surges over you with murky hints of menace
and mystery, then pulls you down into a twisting vortex of breakneck action, finally exploding into a story so unique, it
will leave you breathless…”
My book is selling for only $6.95 in print and $2.95 as an ebook, so instead of spending that
on a thousand-calorie latte that you don’t need and will feel guilty about later, buy my book. Help me achieve my dream
of being a successful author. You are my family, my friends, my biggest and most important fans, please show your support.
