Author Name
Wayne Faust (Author)
Wayne Faust has been a full-time comedy and music performer for over 40 years, performing in 40 states and overseas in England, Holland, Scotland, and Mexico. His music is heard all over the world. While on the road performing, he writes fiction, mostly character-driven, speculative tales. He's had over 50 short stories published in various places around the world, and ten of his stories have been performed by actors as staged reading for One Night Stand Theater in Denver. He's also had stories performed as radio dramas.He just published his first full-length novel. “Calek's Tale” is a labor of love that he wrote over several years while on the road with his show. It's a fast-paced, gripping, post apocalyptic story about an eleven year old boy named Calek, who lives in Refuge, a quaint, peaceful town on an island in the northern Great Lakes. He has a bright, shining talent to invent new things, or to put existing things together in new ways. This talent begins to run afoul of Hezekiah, the Spiritual Leader who speaks for God to the people. It's feared that Calek's talent will lead the people back to the ways of the Mainland, where a conflagration destroyed most of the world before he was born, sending The Forsaken - drooling, mindless creatures who kill and maim at will, to the shores of the island. But no Forsaken has been seen for a very long time, and Calek's talent simply will not leave him alone...“Calek's Tale is now available on Amazon from Paintbrush Press, both in Kindle and Paperback format. It's the first part of a trilogy, with other two full-length books to follow.He's also published a fast-moving and entertaining memoir called "Thirty Years Without A Real Job," which is available on his website, along with a book called "12 Parables," a collection of Christian fiction from Healthy Life Press, also available on Amazon in both Kindle and Paperback formats.And if that isn't enough creativity for one guy, he also owns and manages Picklehead Music, an online store devoted mostly to funny music.You can find everything you'd ever want to know about Wayne Faust on his website.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

A boy named Calek lives in the town of Refuge on a quaint island in the northern Great Lakes. Growing up, he constantly heard stories about what happened on the Mainland before he was born, a huge conflagration that engulfed the entire world.

All that remained were the Forsaken - drooling, mindless monsters who found their way to the island in boats, killing and maiming like rabid dogs. The people of Refuge fought them off with much loss of life, surviving as the last remnants of humanity and dreaming of the day they will repopulate the Mainland and start the world anew.

Sometimes Calek wonders if all of that really happened. It’s what he’s always been told but maybe Hezekiah, the Spiritual Leader who runs things on the island, made the whole thing up.

It would be a good way to keep people afraid so they continued to follow his Revelations. But if none of that happened, what about the rows of graves in the Refuge cemetery, all from the same year?When he’s not pondering these mysteries, Calek’s mind is filled with visions about the Old World and how ancient things can be put together in entirely new ways.

Because he has a bright, shining gift. His father knows how dangerous that gift could turn out to be.

But Calek is just eleven years old and his dreams will not leave him alone…“Calek’s Tale” is the first book in a new trilogy written by Wayne Faust. He’s been a full time performer and songwriter for over 45 years (www.

waynefaust. com).

From writing songs all those years, where you have to say everything you need to say in three verses or less, his prose is tightly-written and gripping. He was in a writing group in Colorado with the late, great Edward Bryant, who worked with him extensively on “Calek’s Tale, along with most of the over 50 stories Wayne has had published in various places around the world.

With vivid descriptions of the northern Great Lakes (Faust spent several summers performing on Mackinac Island), richly-drawn characters, and a plot full of flashbacks, mystery, and suspense, this book will keep you turning pages until the end. .
