Luke P. Narlee is a 38-year-old American author from Baltimore, Maryland. Originally from New England, Luke is a former military member who continues to work for the government as an Intelligence Specialist. Despite having a well-established career in the intelligence community, Luke's biggest passion has always been writing. After writing off and on as a hobby for most of his life, he finally began writing with the goal of being published in 2012. He then spent four years hard at work on a dystopian/science fiction epic titled, The Appointment, about a heavily controlled country where all forms of entertainment have been banned indefinitely, and all of its citizens have slowly lost both their memories, as well as their ability to feel emotions in the process.
His first novel, Guest Bed, wound up being what he wrote as a way of taking a much-needed break from The Appointment, which took on an unexpected life of it's own. In writing Guest Bed, Luke wanted to capture some of the frustrations and heartache that come with, not only being married for many years, but with being human as well, but in a realistic way that people will be able to relate to, while also being entertained by the mystery. Once Guest Bed was published in October of 2016, Luke was able to wrap up and publish his second novel: The Appointment - Book 1: Lost and Found, which is available now.

ABOUT
Ron’s day is off to a bad start. Blinded by frustration after another argument with his wife, and heartbroken that his marriage may be over, he accidentally crashes his car on his way to work. Dazed, he takes the train the rest of the way, where he is quickly delighted by the presence of another rider, Courtney, whose smoldering smile makes him remember what it feels like to be wanted.
What seems like a new friendship quickly turns into temptation, leaving Ron torn with internal conflict and guilt. But when his new friend starts to seem a little off, he begins to question her motives. As one seemingly harmless favor leads to another, Ron soon finds himself wondering if Courtney really is who she says she is, or if she's actually part of an elaborate setup.
Depression has swept across the nation since the initiation of the Lockdown. The public has been systematically deprived of anything that brings them entertainment, or allows them to express emotion.
When an utterly hopeless Jacob Johansen receives an invitation to attend a mysterious appointment at an anonymous facility, he agrees, considering he has nothing to lose. He takes this opportunity to peel himself away from the drab repetition of the day-to-day routine he’s come to know and reignite a sense of purpose in his life.
Jacob agrees to go forward with a series of tests in which he is immersed in a dream realm that reminds him of the man he was and shows him the potential of the man he could become.
As Jacob engages in his own self-exploration, he is met with the sober realization that his own actions, decisions or avoidances could have a ripple effect, deeper than any dreamer could have fathomed.
From the acclaimed author of Guest Bed comes book one of an epic new series filled with dreams, parallel universes, artificial intelligence, angels, virtual reality, soul mates, and much more...
