ESCAPED ANIMALS

Part 2, of the Grunts series, the stunning conclusion. This is a young adult, science fiction novel.
Short Description: On a far away planet, a small group of human teenagers remain in captivity, treated like animals. Their masters are a race of giant aliens called Grunts. Having witnessed the death of many of their friends, the morale among the teens is at an all time low until Mark and Ernest come up with a plan that sparks a glimmer of hope. What if they stowed away on a Grunt spaceship and flew back to Earth? The idea sounds crazy and extremely dangerous. All ten teens decide against it until things go from bad to worse on the planet and suddenly the suicide mission seems like their best hope. Plus, Mark is seeing signs that God is still with them even though they are light years from Earth. After much division among the teens they finally come together and a plan of action is agreed upon.

GRUNTS

Grunts is the full epic story that includes Caged Animals and Escaped Animals. It’s available only as a Kindle Vella, an exciting new online reading site offered by Amazon. Click here to go to the Grunts, Kindle Vella page.
The great thing about reading my book as a Vella is you’ll be able to read the first 3 chapters for free. That way you can decide if you like the story before committing to paying for the rest of it. Starting in chapter 4, the cost is very affordable. The other thing I like about reading Vellas is they’re always available, from any computer or phone. As long as you have internet, you can pick up where you left off in the story.
