Ages of Entanglement, a novel

My novel was recently released and is available from various sources. It is the culmination of two years of writing and revising, so I’m kind of glad that is now out the door and floating the waves of electrons and paper fibers. Farther below is a link and brief description. If you do read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts and would appreciate your review on Amazon or Goodreads.
The book is currently available below as an ebook (or in paperback) for 99 cents to help folks like yourself be able to review it.

Although a post-apocalyptic novel, it is built on the idea of finding hope in darkness. It is set in the rural southeastern United States sometime in the future.Decades ago, humanity’s abuse of the strange phenomena known as quantum entanglement brought the demise of civilization.

Samson gave up searching for his family and now wanders the earth with no purpose, while avoiding entanglement with other souls. But then he meets Selene—an orphaned, but  strong and independent girl. She sees in him what he has forgotten. They journey together toward a utopian island only rumored to exist.

Authenticity

This is for the Poets United Midweek Motif of Authenticity. I guess this poem is more about what is not authentic.

The wood grains

of too many 

homes

are painted over

in thick acrylic.

In the yard

the browning

follicles of grass

are dyed

with fertilizer.

While inside,

the nourishing 

plumbing 

and wires 

are hidden beneath 

smooth drywall.

The true house

is sometimes

only visible

after the years 

have worn away

the facade.

-R. L. Jackson
