The Smith family was a normal,middle-class family living happily in the suburbs of New York,with three gorgeous children,and a fourth on the way,but almost as soon as that child is born,a group calling themselves The Apocalypse Watchers,shows up at their house, preaching that the Anti-Christ has been born,and they come to believe that this new member of the family is the Anti-Christ and that they must rid the world of her by any means necessary to avoid Armageddon.Can the Smiths protect their little girl,Carol Anne,from these crazy cultists,or will The Apocalypse Watchers succeed in putting an end to the Anti-Christ’s reign once and for all?

I usually like to write in the third person in which I’m the narrator telling the reader about events that happened to me, my fictional family, fictional children, and set these books 5-10 years into the future (which, right now, is 2020-2025).
To give me some advice and constructive criticism of my writing style.
That my writing style, in some areas matches those of other, more notable and well-known authors.
To tweak my writing style to make it more professional and appealing to readers.
Helix is a useful tool to help you evaluate your writing style.
