He steps forward with trepidation, one toe in the treacherous waters that is the author self-promotions thread...

Here's the spiel:

Is Brad seeing things? A boy, his double, on the other side of the stream. It’s like looking into a mirror. But where has he come from? Who is he? When Brad decides to follow him into the forest, it is the start of an action-packed thrill ride. Set in the mountains of far north Australia, this is the debut novel of author Luke King.

It's free at Smashwords https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/18751

I submitted it to Penguin Australia back in 2000. They rejected it, but were kind enough to say, "This shows real promise."

I think that's about it. It's not going to win any awards.

Ideally, it's geared towards a young male readership, though I think anyone might enjoy it, as far as it goes.
