Product Description

A year or so ago I came up with an idea for a novel which blurs the lines between the scientific and supernatural, that deals with the battle of science versus religion in a unique and entertaining way. In “The Highest Curse,” one brother finds his lifelong faith put to the ultimate test, while the other may have to rediscover his long lost faith in order to survive the terrifying secrets that lurk at the heart of a mystery that dates back over 2,000 years.

About the Author
Gregory Bernard Banks began his pursuit of a writing career in 1997, after spending years studying his other creative love, graphic design. In the past, he's served as moderator for the Zoetrope All-Story Writers Workshop, as a site administrator for Scrawl: The Writer's Asylum, and as webmaster for the WRITER and MARKET Literary Search Engine. He's currently co-Webmaster for the Speculative Literature Foundation, and as both Community Leader and freelance graphic designer at Lulu Enterprises, he now helps other authors make their own publishing dreams come true. Banks is also a frequent contributor for Audacity Magazine (AudacityMagazine.com) with his column, “A Sedentary View”, and continues pursuing his dream of landing a 7-figure book deal by the time he's 80. His list of publishing credits include The Rose & Thorn, Story House, StoneGarden.net, Creative Brother's Sci-Fi Magazine, The Writers Post Journal, AlienSkin Magazine, and The Speculative Fiction Centre 2005 Anthology “Horizons”. His second short story collection, “Phoenix Tales: Stories of Death & Life,” was published in March of 2005 through his own publishing imprint, WheelMan Press, and has received much critical acclaim. The collection contains stories that have been quarter- and semi-finalists, respectively, in the L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Contest, and the book itself is a finalist in ForeWord Magazine's 2005 Book of the Year Award. His third collection, “Like Salmon: The Geek Chronicles,” is scheduled for a September 25th, 2006 release. Banks lives in the rapidly growing city of Stockbridge, Georgia with his parents, his computer, and far too many books to count.

Customer Reviews

Suspenseful Beginning to a Promising Tale
An excellent short offering by this up and coming author. It sets the mood for a serial that promises to be a page-turner. Gregory Bernard Banks is a suspenseful writer with a great talent for setting up drama and introducing characters in an intriguing way. By the end of this installment, you may not know what you've gotten yourself into, and the genre of the story you are reading might even elude you, but despite these things (or possibly partly because of them) you'll be anxiously awaiting the next installment of "The Highest Curse."
