Tucker, separated from his wife Mary as they grieve the loss of their baby, sets out to save his estranged mother from a malevolent storm cloud that follows and torments her. He embarked on this journey with his uncle's urging, from his island in the Northeast to the desert in the Southwest, to find answers and come to terms with Emily's death. But he discovers that this cloud story is not a myth. It is indeed real and has grown into a petulant killer storm that hunts the mysterious Catharina, who chooses to stay one step ahead of her only son and fulfill her wish to end the madness for good. Her burden can never be his burden, not ever! This is what she believes. Along with his blood bros, Mike and Olin, and two special dogs who are more than they appear, Tucker battles wind and rain, landslides and tornados, aftermath and carnage to save someone who doesn't want to be saved and mend a marriage that may be too heartbroken to mend. Recognized as a top finalist in the ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Writing Competition, Gray Song is a fast-moving chase story that blends deep emotions with humor, tugs at our heartstrings, and sneaks a peek at the supernatural. Sometimes dragons don't breathe flames or fire. They spew torrents. Sometimes hell doesn't burn. It's cold and desperate and colorless. Despite singing a tall tale about history and chaos, Gray Song is a love story at heart, as old as an island born with water and as mighty as the wings of a butterfly. "Gray Song has such a beautiful voice. I was really taken by how we have a nuanced storyline that's for all intents and purposes about healing and grief and its manifestation into the physical, but I also laughed and enjoyed the voice so much that I could perfectly picture each person on the page as a truly visceral and fleshed out human. There's a lot to explore here in terms of personal choice in how we heal and overcome trauma and the environments we are placed in that anchor us from moving on." -ScreenCraft Judge Feedback When he's not writing about love, misfits, and intergenerational relationships, SEAN CADY JOHNSON watches way too much TV, rides his mountain bike, and buys stuff for his Jeep. He lives in southern Rhode Island with the home-posse: his wife, two kids, two dogs, and Mittens the cat. Gray Song is Sean's debut novel.
