All Will Be Revealed
The day nears as to there ultimately being contact with extraterrestrials. In response to such, I have decided to culminate my two series’—the Neuphobes and Oliver Cash Series—with a capstone book, an Opus Magnum if you will, that takes advantage of this world’s most recent political events as a backdrop to the many other concerns plaguing humanity. I have made mention of the primary characters from my seven other books, infusing some in supporting roles, others cameos in the most delicate of fashion, all blended into what I hope to be a magnanimously melodramatic work of fiction. Though the narrative may seem lengthy in a number of concerns (and I ask you, what true literature does not?) it is precisely for this reason—to fully illuminate my principles—of referencing prior stories to inculcate the involved, sometimes bizarre reasonings of the main characters. My latest work, entitled “All Will Be Revealed,” will not only be the capstone of my science fiction foray, but the politically satirical as well.
From thereon forward I aim to focus my faculties on other areas of literature, challenging myself with involved emotional tales of a more feminine nature—entirely from a woman’s perspective—scouring complicated and emotional yesteryears that directly affect the present day heroines as well as friends and family around them. I look forward to these upcoming writings to being well received {hopefully} for they will undoubtedly be coming at a time when liberalism is on the downslope and all the insanity of the past years have been proven beyond all reason as to being just that—sheer insanity. For with the world once again on the brink of nuclear annihilation, it can only be seen as “summa cum laude” as to the ideals purported in my literary proliferations.

Before It Began
Before it Began was a story born of necessity. It was the second one I’d written, after my debut novel “From Whence They Came,” for I needed to explain the origin of the aliens (Phoebians) and some of the plotline to that first book. I found myself inspired by various documentaries I’d seen over the years, and as always the Holy Bible, setting the basis from which I would draft the primary story. I needed to bring my two books together because I knew the importance of there being a coexistence between them. In doing so, I needed to avoid repeating the same narrative, and so focused embellishment on what would be similar points yet from an alternate (alien) perspective.
When I had first released Before it Began, it was the best I could produce at that early stage in my career; however, it was never completely done. Select editing was called for. Over the years I would occasionally refer to the story while writing my other books in continuance of the Neuphobes Series, reading over key sections again and again so as to keep facts straight, characters in check. It was then during a break from my latest novel (it having been shipped off for a beta-reading) that I gave Before It Began a thorough going through, this time with an ever critical eye, identifying errors and highlighting technical flaws. I avowed to expand concepts I had earlier felt completed—yet were not—further working them into a more comprehensive storyline, even referring to several of the novel’s critical reviews as to how I could structurally improve my book. I felt that in my growth as a writer I could now deliver a better work than what had been. So, after an additional twenty thousand words, and a thorough going over with my editor, I have now re-released one of my most revered works.

The Future of Mankind
Taking place within my mind-works now, as I struggle to form and strive to define it, is what I hope to be the pinnacle of my writings. It will be the ninth novel in my artistic oeuvre thereof where I will directly connect my Oliver Cash Series of dystopian politics with my Neuphobes Series of religious science fiction. The novel itself shall be rather lengthy, for it must unquestionably unite earthly politics into the revelation of extraterrestrial existence. References to my previous stories will be the basis upon which I engender this work of fiction, further developing several characters from my earlier conceptions, intertwining their relevance, and displaying them in a different light in hopes of achieving a definitive phenomenon.
The times in which we now live are too precious to not be illuminated by imaginative text. For if we have indeed entered the “End of Times”, humanity may well be in dire need of something onto which to focus its concerns.

What is to Come
Oliver Cash is a trapped man. Not in the physical sense, but more in a spiritual, emotional one. Having once been a God-fearing, family oriented individual, a grave miscalculation ultimately destroys him: the publishing of his book 2025. Oliver had been warned not to release it, for in doing so he’d infuriate the liberal readership. And he had, and they swiftly took retribution upon him.
Escaping death, Oliver is nursed back to health by the same liberal state he’d so despised, this while the “Great Secession” leaves him and his family stranded in the newly formed Liberal Regions across America. It is while living in these Regions that Oliver and his family must learn political correctness while adapting to insidious laws where morality has all but been cast askance. And so it seems that after his long rehabilitation and subsequent homecoming that Oliver loses his family, all due to the waywardness of the culture—so it seems.
Despite this, Oliver fares well and goes on to live as does the elite class throughout the Regions; privileged and unconcerned as to social despair. For it is through his authorship that Oliver exploits the Region’s progressive agenda, and is elevated to celebrity status, far surpassing any “visions of grandeur” he’d ever had living as a staunch conservative. Inevitably, however, Oliver deteriorates due to this livelihood and is ultimately confronted by his hollow achievements, forcing him to acknowledge just what he’s become . . . something that he’d always despised.

2025
I am currently working on a story that is most concurrent with today's politics. I have eluded to such in my previous book, but this most recent novella will outline just what our great country may be headed for. It is a political satire; a dystopian look into the not-too-distant future. All of today's headlining parties are present and accounted for, their names having been altered to better reflect their personalities. The inimical plot is fast paced and abrasive, and leads the reader to consider the consequences of our next election. If your vote is truly reflective of your conscience, then choose wisely--the fate of our democracy is at hand.

Journey to a place where your conscience isn’t always your guide, and the end of days is the beginning of a new tomorrow. A place where learning by one’s mistakes isn’t always easy, especially when experiencing the difference between enlightened and incinerated. My protagonist, Elijah, is definitely not someone from the Bible, but he is one who's been "chosen" to be The Living Reminder.
Scheduled for release on June 8th.
