"A Portion of the Eternal" is a hauntingly beautiful novel about the mysterious death of a young boy and his girlfriend Liv who must continue to believe in love even in the wake of her overwhelming sadness. Winner of the Fade in Screenwriting Award for Best Thriller for his screenplay "9" and a poet, "This Plane Is Going To Crash," author Maurice Jovan Billington's story draws a reader in as a new student arrives in Liv's life bringing with him, redemption, revenge, or possibly both. A radio personality for the Tampa Bay Area's All Talk 102.5 The Bone, Billington is able to weave a certain lyricism and wit into his writing that is not common in all novels. With characters like Liv so eloquently portrayed, it is hard not to find aspects in her, and the other characters, equally well-rounded, to relate to. Fans of poetry will also find something to love in this novel, with poems often incorporated into the text. The mystery of the book will leave you with many questions. The answers to come in the second book of "The Eternal Trilogy," "The Eternity of Ghosts," available soon.
