Down From Ten

You can make the whole world end, if you but count down from ten...Eight friends gather for their annual retreat--cloistered in a mansion in California's high country for ten days of games, conversation, exhibition, and hedonism. When the house is buried by an avalanche, they must somehow survive and stay sane while waiting for rescue--a task which becomes increasingly difficult when they all start having the same disturbing dream.Can they escape the icy tomb before they all go mad? The clock is ticking. 10, 9, 8..."Down From Ten is a brilliant, sometimes creepy take on a bohemian cozy with surreal underpinnings and an irrepressibly touching ending." –Gail Carriger, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Parasol Protectorate series WHILE STAR WARS and STAR TREK seeded J. Daniel Sawyer's passion for the unknown, his childhood in academia gave him a deep love of history and an obsession with how the future emerges from the past. This obsession led him through adventures in the film industry, the music industry, venture capital firms in the startup culture of Silicon Valley, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the worlds that assemble themselves in his head. His travels with bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, and inventors led him eventually to a rural exile where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a pair of production companies that bring innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.For stories, contact info, podcasts, and more, visit his home page at http://www.jdsawyer.net
