About the Book
Title: The One Apart
Author: Justine Avery
Genre: Paranormal
Only one
obstacle stands in his way of enjoying a normal life. He remembers—every life
he's lived before.
Tres is about to be
born... with the biggest burden any has ever had to bear. He is beginning
again—as an ageless adult trapped in an infant body.
He and his teenage
mother face life filled with extraordinary challenges as they strive to
protect, nurture, and hide how truly different he is. But Tres alone must solve
the greatest mystery of all: who is he? The answer is linked to the one
question he's too afraid to ask: why am I?
In his quest, Tres
discovers that all is considerably more interconnected and dynamic than he
could ever imagine—and fraught with far more danger. He cannot hide from the
unseen threat stalking him since his birth.
Life as he knows it—as
all know it—is in peril. And Tres is the only one aware.
Author Bio
Justine Avery is an award-winning author of
stories large and small for all. Born in the American Midwest and raised
all over the world, she is inherently an explorer, duly fascinated by
everything around her and excitedly noting the stories that abound all around.
As an avid reader of all genres, she weaves her own stories among them all. She
has a predilection for writing speculative fiction and story twists and
surprises she can’t even predict herself.
Avery has either lived in or explored all 50
states of the union, over 36 countries, and all but one continent; she lost
count after moving 30-some times before the age of 20. She’s intentionally
jumped out of airplanes and off the highest bungee jump in New Zealand, scuba
dived unintentionally with sharks, designed websites, intranets, and
technical manuals, bartered with indigenous Panamanians, welded automobile
frames, observed at the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo in Noba, Japan, and masterminded
prosperous internet businesses—to name a few adventures. She earned a Bachelor
of Arts degree that life has never required, and at age 28, she sold everything
she owned and quit corporate life—and her final “job”—to freelance and travel
the world as she always dreamed of. And she’s never looked back.
Aside from her native English, Avery
speaks a bit of Japanese and a bit more Spanish, her accent is an ever-evolving
mixture of Midwestern American with notes of the Deep South and indiscriminate
British vocabulary and rhythm, and she says “eh”—like the Kiwis, not the
Canadians. She currently lives near Los Angeles with her husband, British film
director Devon Avery, and their three adopted children: Becks, Sam, and Lia.
She writes from wherever her curiosity takes her.
Avery loves to connect with fellow readers and
creatives, explorers and imaginers, and cordially invites you to say “hello”—or
konnichiwa.

Book Excerpts
The One Apart
by Justine Avery – Excerpt 1
Tres felt his body abruptly drop around him with
overbearing weight, encapsulating him once again.
The mental images, the overpowering memories, finally
faded. Only an ominous stillness remained.
Every cell within him began to twitch, infusing with
energy—even as he felt immobile. Every joint, tendon, and bone ached under the
pressure of being alive.
A deep sadness engulfed him. He pondered possible
reasons. And, just as quickly, he was distracted by the presence of his own
simple thoughts.
Thoughts. He realized his own thinking.
This mind—certain of its own newness—desired to
explore, feel, do, be. Tres opened
his eyes—tried to open his eyes. He
found his eyelids fused shut.
He opened his mouth. Thick, warm syrup seeped inside
his swallow. Intense fear washed over him, even as he knew exactly where—and
how—he was.
Oh, no.
Tres was aware, more aware than any had ever been. In
this moment, he knew everything—and yet, nothing.
He was beginning
again.
