Void

By Kris Heywood

VOID is about a legendary pop star, the rebellious boy who betrays him, the woman who saves him, the man who loves her, two German shepherds, a wild Oregon mountain, and a ruthless developer bent on destroying it.
Viennese SILVI and her adopted thirteen-year-old bi-racial son JIMMI live in a clearing, surrounded by forest. When she wants to communicate with nature, all she has to do is open her door, follow her dogs outside, and she's right in the middle of what she appreciates most about her world. The nearest neighbors she has are as interested in safeguarding their privacy as she is in maintaining hers. As far as she is concerned, the only things she needs for her ongoing happiness is four mild seasons, an increase in her bank balance, the proximity of her son, and a paintbrush.
But then the infamous, scandal-plagued and very shy pop star ARIEL JORDAN buys the three hundred acres down by the creek, and for some reason takes a liking to her and to Jimmi. Days later, in the small town of Ashland, an annoying stranger named PAUL starts crossing her path. Worse, Jimmi's long-lost, bad-news biological father finds her phone number and demands access to his son.
Meanwhile, in Vienna, her father is dying and urgently requests one final visit, and Jimmi refuses to come with her. He wants to go on tour with Ariel, instead. That's when things start to slip out of her control.

Kris Heywood

Kris Heywood was born near Lake Constance and grew up around Munich. After spending many years in Southern California, she craved moody skies and four seasons and moved to the Pacific Northwest, where she has occupied various mountain cabins, along with uncountable cats, dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs. For a long time she took in strays, but recently she has allowed the pet population to shrink by attrition. These days she lives in town along with two very smart German shepherds. She is a confirmed novel writer and believes that good fiction must, first and foremost, be distilled truth. Kris has produced four books, which are all available as ebooks and print books. She is currently working on her fifth and is having lots of fun in the process. Kris is passionate about long, brisk walks, especially through the woods. She also loves yoga, animals of all kinds, literary fiction, good theatre, foreign and Indie movies, and spending time at her laptop.
