Set
in a science fiction setting with elements of twisted horror, Future Winds is a
strange yet wondrous tale of species self preservation and the all out moral
cost of survival. Forced to leave earth, humanity discovers a planet capable of
supporting life and hatches an audacious plan that will warp them across the
universe to settle and begin anew. There is a darkness that resides below the
planet's surface, but with no option to turn back, humanity must find a way
forward.

Excerpt:
Chapter 7 Excerpt:
Being a science fiction story set in another galaxy,
technology and artificial intelligence play a big role in Future Winds. This is
an example of that.
In the year 2045, a Russian man by the name of Vladimir
Karkorov took ophthalmology to a whole other level when he figured out how to
counter human born blindness via fusing a human’s eyesight with the cam feed of
robotics. Eventually Karkorov won a Nobel Peace Prize for his works, but much
like Alfred Nobel, Karkorov’s invention was gulped up by the armies of the
world for use in warfare.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
My name is
Kevin Laymon. My passions are space exploration, music, sailing, snowboarding,
wildlife, and of course writing. I have been writing for some time but the
focus has been primarily on short stories and dark poems strictly for personal
use. Future Winds is the first of a handful of novels I am working on for
publication. I grew up in upstate New York and have lived up and down the east
coast. New York is a location that holds a very special place in my heart.
After working a wide range of jobs that I hated for far too long, Sara my
significant other, and I decided earlier in 2015 to make some dramatic changes
and travel. We scraped together some cash, I quit my job, and we moved to
Albuquerque, New Mexico where we live a libertarian life as vegetarians. We
share our desertscape living quarters with an aquatic turtle named Taz and a
rabbit named BunBear. On October 9th 2015 Sara & I got married in Las
Vegas, Nevada. The sunshine in New Mexico has helped immensely in illuminating
a greater perspective as to who I am and what I was placed on this planet to
do; that is to teach and inspire. I have a hunger to awaken humanity so that we
may break away from our programed way of thinking. Our minds are powerful and I
encourage everyone to open them up, exercise them, and tap into the potential I
know every living man woman and child has. Though my stories at times can be
very dark there is a reason for everything I do. Perspective, perception, and
relativity are everything in the world of literature.
