Debut Novel Out Now
Dana Lake by
Vaux W. Adams
For as long as he can remember, Dana has had a curse: the moment he locks eyes with someone, he sees their death. It's a cruel gift that he gained as a child, one he has learned to live with, pushing him into isolation and fear of connection.
After the death of a co-worker, Dana was approached by two detectives who thought that the death of Dana's friend was too strange to be a coincidence. After questioning Dana and manipulating the truth, the detectives had more than a murder investigation in mind for Mr. Lake.
“Wow”
— Someone when they finally get around to leaving me a review, could be a good “wow” or bad, I have no clue.
“HUH?”
— The word people use when they get confused while reading this book, let’s be real here. Are any debut novels really that good that they don’t confuse the reader just a little?
Real Reviews:
“Vaux W. Adams’s debut novel is a gripping fast-paced thrill ride! Creative and stylish, Dana Lake follows the unexpected journey of its gifted but troubled title character through the bizarre world hatched from the delightfully twisted mind of the author. This book is colorfully descriptive with strong and relatable characters, great plot twists, and uncompromising storytelling. Dana Lake is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach but never disappoints and delivers a fresh and unique perspective on the horror/sci-fi genre! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for this talented author!”

About Vaux
I am just a weird guy, with an odd taste in music, a giant imagination, and a small obsession with having as many hobbies as possible.
On a serious note, I remember as far back as the third grade (2003) wanting to write stories. I enjoy creating worlds, establishing suspense, and hopefully touching someone with the way I tell stories.
I have a background in broadcasting, which pushed me to also get a background in journalism and English, though I only finished my broadcasting degree before getting into the workforce.
I mention both my background and the “workforce” because I think the first allowed me to explore the way stories can be told, through a multitude of platforms. While the second tied me down for longer than I wanted before I was able to get back into my writing.
At the time of writing this, I’m 30 years old, married to my biggest fan (don’t tell my mom), and have around six different writing projects in the works outside of my debut, Dana Lake.
