30-year-old West Berks prison officer publishes debut teen fiction novella
DEBUT novelist Rob Henry has just released a novella, The Premonition Effect, available on Kindle, that has taken some 10 years to come to fruition.
As the 30-year-old prison officer from Thatcham explains: “I have been writing this story for over a decade!”
“I came up with two story ideas in 2012 – this being the better of the two – but after seeing a movie trailer of the other story a few years ago I knew I had to finish The Premonition Effect.
“Between work, which can be challenging and heavy at times, and being a husband and father of two, the biggest challenge was finding the time.
“However I was very motivated to finish it and get the story out there.”
The Premonition Effect is a Young Adult thriller about a girl named Summer who gains the ability to see the moment whoever she is touching will die.
The story follows her journey to fight destiny and try to save the ones she loves.”
Released by Amazon on August 4, it has garnered a five-star rating.
“The reception of this first book has definitely reignited my inspiration to continue the story,” says Rob.
“I’ve always believed to write a good story you must write beyond the ending.
“So I’ve started work on the second of the trilogy, which I’m hoping to release in 2026.”
