I am very excited to be hosting my good blogging friend, Craig Boyack, today with a peep into his new book, Tracks of Infinity. I have read several of Craig’s supernatural fantasy books and love them.

Take it away, Craig!

Guest post: Tracks of Infinity by C.S. Boyack

Thanks for the invitation, Robbie. I don’t get out much these days, but have a new story to tell everyone about.

If you know anything about me (Or even if you don’t), I always require something weird in my stories. I write science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural tales. This one is no different, but is a bit harder to pigeonhole. If I have to call it something, I suppose science fiction is the closest.

Years ago a dear friend named Staci Troilo taught me about mystery boxes. I tucked this into a far corner of my brain and always wanted to try it as a story method. I never wound up with the right plot until this one showed up.

This style requires a question to be asked, and the answer reveals an even bigger question. Readers can follow this trail of mystery boxes to a fairly exciting story. That is what I did with this plot.

In that regard this is also a mystery. We make covers and blurbs for a reason so let’s drop those here.

Jenny’s life is in upheaval. Her only child, Cody, is getting on with his young adult life, and has a girlfriend Jenny is unsure of. Her career at the news station is in jeopardy in a push to get more diverse and younger at the same time.

She wants to be an investigative reporter, but it seems they’ve been relegated to the Stone Age. Gossip, celebrities, and local interest is the order of the day.

In desperation, she accepts an off-camera job to retain her paycheck at all. This is when she discovers that mergers and acquisitions over the decades have left the station with a long history of old news tales in the basement. Could a cold case be something she could focus on in her spare time?

She and her son glean through ancient manila envelopes to find something of interest. Cody needs to make a drive in the country to pass college geology, and decides they might as well go to the location in one of the old stories. Mother and son make a day of it.

What they discover isn’t something either of them expected. Who can she turn to for help and guidance in the dying art of investigative journalism? Will Jenny be able to market a story like this at all? Who are the strange thugs that seem to be tracking their every move, and what are they up to?

The answers to these questions and more are revealed in Tracks of Infinity.

Tracks of Infinity is at all your favorite booksellers.

***

The weirdness in this one comes from the question of whether there are aliens out there, and whether they have been on our planet. What is actually out there when we look up at the stars at night?

Aside from that, Jenny has to figure out how to market a story like this one. The deck is stacked against her.

I hope your fans will give this one a chance. I also hope we get some fun comments today. I’ll be checking them sporadically for the next few days.

  16. I really enjoyed this story! I absolutely believe there are other ‘beings’ in the Universe besides us and there has been so much evidence presented over the years. I loved traveling along with Jenny, Cody and Bai as they unraveled this shocking and accidental discovery. Thank you for hosting today, Robbie. Best wishes to Craig for a ton of sales. I highly recommend this story.

  21. Craig’s book sounds so fascinating, and feeds into all my childhood wonderings about the mysteries of the universe and the possibilities of alien life. I always love a book which gets me thinking!

  32. Craig is one of my favorite authors, so I loved this behind-the-scenes peek. As for the genres he writes in, they’re hard to peg down for sure. Personally, I’d describe it as science fiction fantasy or, better, speculative fiction (which is how I describe stories like those from The Twilight Zone).
