Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Growing up I was an avid fan of comics and cartoons. Most of my favorites centered around "team" mechanics, like the Avengers, X-Men, JLA, Bionic Six, Dungeons and Dragons and many others. I enjoyed how everyone worked together to combat evil, but at times ran the show from a single perspective.

I also loved the aspect of witchcraft, the supernatural, and the unseen world. I quickly became fascinated by the massive amounts of information available on the subjects while supplying myself a healthy dose of horror cinema and books to quench my thirst. I switched between books and movies through my teen years when I learned, all too well, that ginger haired and fair skinned people do not fare well in Florida's, almost constant, stream of burning sunlight.

I grew up in the South and among the cow pastures, orange groves, and lazy summer days of sweet tea and mosquito bites, I listened and watched. Most of the things I remembered, the people, the talks, the places all became the inspiration for parts of my book coupled with my love of the supernatural and superhero worlds I so fondly remembered from my youth.

About the Author

Kester James Finley is an author of supernatural fantasy books. His work includes "The Keeper Chronicles", a magical realism series, and a superhero novella series titled, "The AOA".

A graduate of Saint Leo University, Kester received a BA in Psych and graduated with honors, as figuring out what makes people tick and tock turned into something more than a hobby.

Eventually moving to Port Richey and later Spring Hill, he currently resides with his partner Joe and their demon spawn of a cat, Tucker.

Living in Florida, Kester Finley grew up in the backwoods of Zephyrhills. The country life, its slower pace, and its mix of colorful characters eager to share inspired him to write.

Fascinated by the supernatural, he has spent time studying the paranormal and its history while enjoying the world of superheroes and magic. He is a proud geek, a lover of comics, a horror-film junkie, and a damn good role player.

He currently resides in Spring Hill whiling away the hours writing, trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up, what to have for dinner, and trying to solve the mystery of life beyond the veil.

  • M.N. Seeley
    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and fun.
    Reviewed in Canada on December 17, 2021
    This creative, well-written, superhero story comes at you with speed. This first part truly feels like an exciting television show with humour, dark vibes and action to get the blood pumping. Finley wastes no time getting to it and never lets up. It’s the sort of fun that reminds me of Donner’s Superman movies or Raiders of the Lost Ark, in that it knows its tone, runs with it and then sticks the landing.

    I recommend this episodic story to people of all ages. Teens especially will identify with the main character; a tough girl with a lot to learn about being tough. Adults will—I’m living proof of it—enjoy the artful writing and story development, too. It’s a fast read, so give it a shot. You may get hooked. If you do, that’s cool. There are more episodes waiting for you.
