New YA novel 'The Last Ark'
I'm a huge YA fan and I've written my first novel for teen readers. The first two chapters are free at http://www.benportus.com so feel free to have a look if you like.
Hope I've not broken any rules posting this here... think this area's meant for this sort of thing.

Thank you Tegan. My book's called The Last Ark and it's available to download now. Here's the blurb, but there's loads for free at my website,
including a video trailer and free chapters. http://www.benportus.com
THE LAST ARK
Kidnap. Betrayal. A secret past and a lethal virus. Who do you trust when everything you know is a lie ... and the entire planet's at stake?
Sammy Twice is a normal kid - that's what adults always tell him. Until his mum gets abducted in the dead of night. Then everything changes forever.
Because Sammy has a hidden past. His home, his parents, even the person he is ... they're all a lie.
And who is The Professor? Why is he stealing animals? What is The Ark? Sammy needs to find out fast. The countdown has already started. The flood is
coming, and it will destroy everything on Earth.
"The gap between his feet and the fence around the lion enclosure was at least a metre wide. The drop was the height of five men. In the darkness,
curving rolls of barbed wire shimmered along the top of the fence, each razor prong waiting to snag and incise.
Sammy took a deep breath. He lifted his chin. Rain poured over his face, running into his eyes, blurring his vision.
He blinked.
Lightning split the sky ahead. The air fizzed and a billion drops were frozen like diamonds in the wintry sky. In the distance a sudden macabre
silhouette: his mother, clinging crucifix-like to the wire, three lions reaching up with great sharp claws to drag her down.
Darkness. The thunder cracked like an explosion.
He jumped."
