Alexandria, VA -- (SBWire) -- 05/05/2015 --While most authors use their debut novel to do nothing but test the literary waters, James K. West is quickly proving that a first release is also an opportunity to rival a genre's bestsellers.
'Phase' is chillingly realistic; a fusion of compelling plot and intricate characters that proves fiction can be anything but far-fetched.
Synopsis:
In "Phase", Alison Reilly works in an office like any other by day. Office politics and ill-advised romances rule the halls, though she has no patience for either. By night, Alison bangs away, alone, on her beautiful blue drum set. When the two worlds collide, Alison will finally start making music and enter a new phase of her life. But the road won't be a smooth one. One of Alison's bandmates is also one of her coworkers, and the strain of such a complicated relationship might just be too much for one of them.
"Fiction is rapidly becoming glossed over with hundreds of new stories based on vampires, werewolves and other facets that are a far cry from everyday life. I want to hark back to fiction's roots – a time when stories mimicked real life to the point that readers could live and see the world through the eyes of characters."
Continuing, "Alison, her co-workers and flawed bandmate could easily be living next door. I hope readers build a synergy with them – it's an adventure to say the least."
With the book's demand increasing, interested readers are urged to purchase their copies without delay.
