Publisher's Synopsis
Chasing Today: The Peripherals: Book Three
Sean Curley had enjoyed his life as a moderately successful New York stage actor. He pursued his passion with none of the glare of the spotlight he had never craved. All that changed when beings from the Otherworld, who had followed him on the edge of his perception all his life came to him. Some came seeking help. Some saw him as a threat and came to eliminate him. All along, and unknown to him, Sean had held within him powers that harkened back to the days of the powerful bards and Gaelic storytellers and singers, who had been the keepers of history, secrets, and power. Through some quirks of fate and heredity, Sean proved to be one of the most powerful of that kind in eons.
Desperate to escape the intrigue that now swirls around him, Sean leaves New York City to perform at the stately Fulton Theatre in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. But any hope of reclaiming his previous anonymity vanishes when the theatre proves to be alive with its own mysterious past and ghosts, both literal and figurative. Under the leadership of the enigmatic Marcello Pettirosso, the Fulton becomes a beacon not only to those pursuing Sean, but to others who would take advantage of its unique relationship to history and the Otherworld. Sean's friends rush to his side, but find they may not be enough to rescue him this time. In a desperate attempt to shield Sean, he is whisked to another time in the hope that his enemies will not find him, but he may have unwittingly stepped into a trap that could doom them all. Will Sean save them, or cause their downfall? And will those he finds in the past be friend or foe?
A white-knuckle adventure that hurtles inevitably toward a final confrontation, Chasing Today gathers figures from folklore, urban legend, and the paranormal in a grand climax. As the battle is joined, truths are revealed, friendships are tested, romance is thwarted, and sacrifice is demanded. The greatest characters are not those on the stage of the theatre, but those on the streets of the city. Even they, with the help of a motley group of well-meaning actors, may not be enough to prevent dark forces from claiming the mysteries that have lain below the theatre, hidden for so long.
