Marc Gregory – författare

Change must happen...

A path must be carved for the next generation. A path to lead humankind from the brink of environmental and political collapse. A path away from our antiquated chains of economy and consumerism.

The universe must wield its powers to bring opposite ideals to collide, in a story of true love. George is a boy genius in quantum science, coaxed from his military think tank on nothing more than a feeling. A feeling he must head north, into the wilderness, and into her sweet embrace. 

Annabelle escaped from an abusive home at a young age. She found her new life in the spiritual teachings of a merry band of hippies, tucked back in the mountain forests. In a small village called Beelieve. 

The bond between science and spiritualism grows quick, and unbreakable. Love blooms life in the form of twins. With their combined knowledge, the villagers agree to try a new way of teaching. It''s a longshot, and it will take great effort. But if it works, there will be new skills. Skills that can be taught to anyone willing, and lead us down a new path, toward true freedom. 

But beware... for success will bring resistance from very powerful foes. Foes, who like things just the way they are. 

Welcome to Quantum Avidya. A conversation to challenge our ways and views. To open a door for the next generation to do it better.  

Brandon Baker is a young, high-school graduate, thrust into a world of dead-end jobs. Drinking life away with his friends, he awaits his shot at the only life to live in the eyes of a young Albertan - oil and gas.

Destiny wakes him from his seemingly eternal hangover, whisking him away from his comforts to the unfamiliar streets of the big city and his shot at the big show. Newfound love and experimentation challenge his inbred, small town morals, where he finds life in the fast lane to be truly blinding. Work consumes him. Love turns to lost and greed leads to death. Stripped of himself, Brandon wakes on the sands of a foreign shore where he questions what should have been and finds himself woken to a new energy. An alternative energy.

Brandon Bakers life had sure taken a turn. Some days he would have to pinch himself just to believe it was all real. But, when he wakes up in a direction where turning around isn''t an option, he''ll need to trade his little pinch in for something heftier. As he looks over the barren desert of endless ocean, he is left to face the truth of his own mortality, countless times. But, if he thinks the journey will be the hardest challenge he will face in life, wait till he faces what is waiting on the other side.  

Welcome to the long-awaited sequel. After the success of Alternative Energy, I was pressed to write the sequel immediately. But, at that time, I really wasn''t happy with any of the cliches rolling through my head. What I love about AE is the way that it takes the reader through multiple sceneries of emotion, and I promise, this will not disappoint. Where you end is very different from where you start. Don''t be fooled by the name. "Blow Me", is a true love story for the ages. 

"Welcome to Money and Power" - That is what the highway sign should read as one crosses the city limits into Fort McMurray, Alberta. Home to the infamous Canadian Oil-sand mines, and the many souls they gather, from all over the world. Some with good intentions, others with bad. 

Follow along with the next batch of contestants as they travel from far to the land of paved gold streets. They will all come with their five-year-plans. But through the cocktail of bitter-cold, endless nights, greed, addiction love and destruction, each will pay their own personal, Price Per Barrel. 

Marc Gregory was born in Saskatchewan and raised in Alberta, where he has enjoyed a successful career, for many years, in the energy industry. He has lived and worked all over Western Canada, and has enjoyed time learning and laughing with many new friends through international travel. No stranger to adversity, he has spent the last 10 years building a career, facing divorce and spending time as a single father. Through all the chaos, he found salvation in a passion, and released 4 well reviewed novels. 

All of his work has been produced by his strict belief, that if art fails to stir emotion in its audience, what''s the point...

I dedicate this novel to anyone who has braved the darkness, to see the light.
