First Night of Summer

NEW Announcement! "First Night of Summer" became a finalist in the Readers Favorite International Book Award contest in Miami.

Each time someone reads "First Night of Summer", it helps to raise awareness for the safety and welfare of children.

I was touched to hear the story of a reader just the other day. He came to me and explained that his daughter is a single mother with an eight-year-old daughter of her own. He recently found out that she had a new boyfriend hanging around, and wondered if he should look the guy up--just for fun and to satisfy his curiosity. What he found blew him away and came as a shock.

The new boyfriend had a record, and a full conviction as a sex-offender with a child. The father called his daughter immediately and explained the situation. She was dumbfounded. The very next day, the boyfriend was scheduled to babysit her eight-year-old daughter by himself at a nearby water park.

Because this little girl's grandfather had just finished "First Night of Summer", the seed was planted that people are not always who they appear to be. He discovered that his granddaughter's future caretaker had the potential, and history, to cause her harm.

I have always said, if "First Night of Summer" can save ONE child from a terrible experience, all the difficulty in creating it will have been worth it. And now it is!

I share this because our world is too uncomfortable, by and large, to speak of the taboo subject--child predation. Only through awareness can we protect the innocent. Join me and help raise awareness through fiction.

First Night of Summer

Disassociation from reality is the most deplorable act a society can commit. Sweep all the taboo unpleasantries of life under the rug, and there they will reside, just as dangerous, forever lurking beneath the surface.

In the United States alone, a child goes missing every forty seconds. While most are recovered alive and unharmed, many are forced to suffer the indignity and pain of abuse, often sexual.

Each year, approximately one hundred of these children are brutally murdered at the hands of their abductors. Countless others are never added to this statistic because they remain lost, never to be found or heard from again.

Author, Landon Parham discusses his debut suspense novel, First Night of Summer.
