Casual Conversations #12 - Mike Oppenheim

After more than 15 years in the business, I finally worked out a deal with a publisher and my novel Ardor is now available online and in stores!

I spent three years researching, writing, and editing Ardor, so I'm excited for you to read it. I also wrote it in the wake of my son's abduction, and it was very helpful, therapeutically, for me to express those intense and life-changing emotions, in fiction.

About the book:

Ardor Agopian is twenty-one years old, working a dead-end job at the mall, and grappling with the fallout of a bad decision. When he stumbles upon an ancient prophecy hidden in a long-forgotten book, he realizes he must master his long-dormant psychic abilities or watch idly as humanity is destroyed by an unimaginably powerful force. To save his fellow humans, Ardor must travel the globe and contend with mysterious forces and shadowy clans while grappling with the fatal consequences of trying to stem the tide of darkness.
