Patrick LaJuett — Writer & Author
Writing has always been one of my constants. I have written everything from marketing copy and technical documentation to hundreds of blog posts and press releases. My latest creative chapter is fiction writing, where I am bringing that lifelong passion for words and storytelling into my debut novel.
About twenty years ago, I had a dream about people swinging between futuristic towers. I turned it into a bedtime story for my kids . Years later, I retold the story and my wife said, "Hey, we saw that movie." LOL, nope... that was my story. The fact that she remembered it, vivid enough to think it was something she'd watched, nudged me to finally write it down. That bedtime story became Beneath the Cloudline.

My debut novel, "Beneath the Cloudline", is a YA SF saga set in a world divided by clouds. It's "post-collapse hopepunk," focusing on a society rebuilding after an ecological disaster known as "The Great Weathering".
Plot Summary
Plot Summary
My story follows two main characters from opposite sides of a rigid social divide:
Jax: A boy raised on the ground among the "Rooted." The laborers, climbers, and rebels who keep the city functioning.
Elyra: A girl born in the heights of the gleaming "Ten Towers of Halidom." She was engineered for obedience and groomed for power.
Together, Jax and Elyra must navigate a world held together by lies and decide whether to protect the existing system or rebuild it from the ground up.
