The Catalyst Series

(A 6 book series)

The chronicles of a young man, as he discovers he's a catalyst for other people, giving them strange abilities, and drawing strangers to him like moths to a flame. He's not ready for what happens to him, but slowly adapts, with help from his family and friends. What he does with his many followers, though, is an open question.

1) An Unknown Attraction

A young man suddenly finds women mysteriously attracted to him while visiting New Orleans with his family. He acts as a catalyst, activating strange abilities in them that he doesn't understand. He's not ready for the responsibilities of adulthood, yet he's called upon to lead a string of followers. Where, he has no idea.

2) Trying To Be Normal

Having returned from New Orleans with a whole new life, Alex tries to become just a normal young man as he returns to school. Can he blend in for the next two months despite having several women following him around? And will his abilities really be invisible to everyone around him? Book 2 in "The Catalyst" series.

3) Normalcy Is Harder Than It Looks

Having wrestled with trying to preserve a 'normal' last few months of high school, Alex faces an even harder time, as not only does he have to explain to those he loves what his life has become, but he faces several people who seem to hate him as much as his followers adore him. What's a confused teenage atheist religious figure to do?

4) Racing the Clock

Alex seeks to find as many new followers as he can during the limited time he has left, as he comes to grip with the knowledge that his abilities will likely kill him. Before that happens, he hits the road with his sister and an ex-cop serving as a bodyguard. Along the way, they learn much more about him, about his followers, and about leading a mission when one doesn’t know the way.

5) Touring Under Pressure

Leaving the familiar supportive environment of New Orleans after being exposed, Alex takes his mission on the road. Along with the blur of life on a concert tour, there are dark trends as well: Alex is now nationally known, the media is hungry for news and there are multiple people eager to hurt him. As he travels the country, they learn more about him and what drives people to love or hate him.

6) Building A Legacy

With time running out, Alex faces life with a new confidence, even as events and those around him change abruptly. Relieved of the need to save his people, he still feels responsible for them and wants to leave a strong legacy. But just what will that legacy be? This is a dramatic conclusion to the series, featuring a lot of surprises as Alex and his team learns more about his abilities, where they come from and what that knowledge implies going forward.
