The Trevin Project is the name of my new young adult action adventure series. The first book is called Metal and was published by Montauk Press in November 2014. The story centers around Delbert Hanks, a fifteen year-old high school student living with his mom in Claxburg, Maryland who accidentally drinks from a tainted bottle of Atomic Plus, a popular energy drink. Within weeks he discovers his body is slowly turning into metal. He hides this discovery from his mom, his estranged father, and his best friend, Erik. As the plot evolves he gains the attention of Savannah O'Neill, a classmate he's had a crush on since the fourth grade. Eventually he reveals his illness to Erik, as well as Savannah, but this only leads to a tragic cliffhanger that leaves more questions than answers.
