Publisher's Synopsis
(( This is an unedited copy of Green Banner Street. I can't afford to have it professionally done, and my dream publisher has banned me from submitting to them anymore, but I still hope you enjoy it haha. Even though this novel contains a positive message about the importance of family, it does contain graphic sexual scenes, cursing, and brief instances of abuse. )) I have always enjoyed writing under a pseudonym, believing it to be much easier to convey foresight and true emotions through the hands of a masked entity than that of my own - therefore my pen name is Alexander Mercer, and his first novel, GREEN BANNER STREET, is complete at 70,000 words.GREEN is a commercial/literary fiction, coming -of - age novel focused towards a YA/adult market. It's a novel of family, love, and pursuing your calling in life. The two main characters are Ana Maverick and Alexander Mercer going through childhood, written by Alex himself. On her ninth birthday, Ana goes through a traumatic event, causing her to become hospitalized and put up for adoption. Allyson Maverick, a dance professor for Louisiana State University is called and when she hears about how sweet and how much of a prophetic reader she is, she says "I want her!"Allyson moves Ana into the "B" side of a duplex on Green Banner Street, on a small island in Lake Pontchartrain, near New Orleans. A boy, Ana's age, Alexander Mercer instantly falls in love with her, slipping a book he made for her by their front door. She quickly edits and critics his works, bonding them together. As they turn into teenagers, Alex becomes a prodigious short story writer, and Allyson has made Ana into a quite sought-after ballet dancer. After graduation, Alex moves away and falls for and begins a relationship with a popular actress, Amber Myers, and Ana finds romance in college. When they are both 22, Alex has fallen to depression from losing Amber, and suffering from writer's block, when Ana calls him to invite him home for Christmas, reigniting their childhood obsession for each other. Currently, I am writing GREEN BANNER STREET'S sequel: MY BLUE HEAVEN, beginning the morning after the epilogue of GREEN. - Saint Rhett Alexander Hamilton
