Meet Larry.<\/h2>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Larry is 30 years old, and has been for 2000 years.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Larry is a mystery, an urban legend, someone who has been directed on occasion to alter the course of humanity.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Ever since his mission began, he has been active, behind the scenes, guiding, protecting humanity, especially ‘the families’.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

His current mission will take Larry on an adventure, the likes he has not yet experienced.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Together with his friends, old and new, Larry must go up against dangerous world powers.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Power most people know nothing about.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

They will have to work together to prevent tragedy, death and destruction,<\/p>\r\n

unlike anything the modern world has ever seen.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Larry’s past will affect our present, and the success of their mission will set in motion God’s ultimate plan for our future.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Larry Z – Upcoming Series<\/h2>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

The Apprentice is the first in a series of novels exploring the real world, and the mysterious and supernatural one right in front of our very eyes.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Many choose to look away, but it’s not going anywhere, and Larry’s journey, after 2000 years of service, is about to change.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Old and new friends, strange and dangerous alliances. A murder to solve, a catastrophe around every corner, Armageddon at every turn. Larry’s new journey will beg the question…<\/p>\r\n

About <\/strong>The Author<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Author Bio: Dirk Joubert \u2013 Larry Z The Apprentice<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Dirk Joubert wrote a book. Now he is writing another one. It is a series of books, in fact. Did he want to? Maybe. But he was taking his sweet time, considering it. Then he was severely bullied by a rather skillful and no-nonsense 80 year old dame, so he was forced to write it, or else… and now you have to read it. Or she will know. She always knows.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So, despite his procrastination and cowardice, the Larry Z series of Fantasy\/ Fiction is finally available for all who enjoy mystery and adventure. Is it real? Could be! Heart-warming? Perhaps. Funny? I mean, can an elephant jump? Is it culturally relevant and socially immersive? Sure, why not? Readers are smart. They will figure it out.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Dirk is a private person (meaning weird and awkward; don’t let him fool you) and he doesn’t enjoy sunsets and long walks on the beach. Beaches are gross and sunsets are for sissies who like soap operas. Dirk hates soap operas. And cat videos. He’s allergic and they make him sneeze.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He is quiet and keeps to himself, although most people who have ever encountered him would vehemently disagree. What do they know.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He cooks. He doesn’t enjoy it, but it’s heat and a pan of some kind. It’s not that hard.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He has the voice of an angel, but only knows the words to one song, one that can unfortunately never be repeated in public. A loss for all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And now you know Dirk better than his own mother, leaving you either scarred for life or rather privileged. Either way, just hurry up, and go get your pop-corn and put your phone on silent. The book is about to start.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
