Author Description

A homeless woman's prophecies come true with increasingly dire consequences, but a skeptical news reporter needs a sign before it's too late. Sonny, a quirky journalist in Washington, DC, befriends a homeless woman who wields an "End is Near" sign and proclaims the coming destruction of the world. He remains skeptical of Izzy's prophecies, even as they come true with increasingly dire results-natural disasters, wars, and the loss of his career. One message catches the FBI's attention, which sends Sonny into depression and panic attacks. He can ignore Izzy as delusional, or he can help spread the word, but he needs a sign-and he needs it fast. EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a contemporary literary suspense tale that could easily have been pulled from today's headlines. If the question is, "Is it fact or fiction," the answer just might end up being, "Yes." Standing at the intersection of world politics and a modern-day prophet, St. Izzy of F Street combines the unrelenting dread of Paul Lynch's Prophet Song with the close-knit intimacy of Paul Murray's The Bee Sting. "Izzy is the kind of character who sticks with you long after the last page. She's enigmatic, unforgettable, and part of a story so carefully woven that it will make you question everything you thought you knew." Jonas Saul, Author of "What We Were Hiding" and the million-plus selling Sarah Roberts Series "Izzy makes a little too much sense, one unsettling revelation at a time." Jessica Carney, Author/Editor "A fascinating tale filled with prophecies and Old Testament references that build suspense and keep the reader engaged... Izzy is a great character, both charming and annoying at the same time... Keeps the reader guessing... In the end, he adds a twist that was not only a surprise but one that leaves the door open for a second installment." Readers' Favorite Book Reviews
