I'm a husband, father and writer. I'm also a huge geek. I can say that now because being a geek is cool. Right? Hello?

Aside from writing, I like to read, lift weights, and do martial arts. I have a love/hate relationship with running.

I'm going to go and pretend that I'm doing one of the above activities, though I'll probably just be playing Angry Birds.

Stupid birds.


Yours in Truth,

An Appeal to Readers

The final proof of MetalMagic: Revelation is in my hands, meaning the official release is only a matter of weeks away. It's a very exciting time, but it also comes with some uncertainty and apprehension. My first book, Talisman, has done very well considering its relatively limited exposure and my inexperience in setting out. I've sold nearly 1000 copies, including both print releases and the eboo

Quotes by Derek Donais  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Remember that the choices you make, and the reasons you make them, shape your destiny. Remember your free will...And remember, what the True One has made is supposed to bring balance and unity, not anger, fear or revenge. Do not fear, what is yours to use. Only beware the ends to which it is turned, and know the means will truly determine the outcome.”
Derek Donais, MetalMagic: Talisman

“One age ends, and another begins. It is the way of things. But, it doesn't happen all at once.”
Derek Donais, MetalMagic: Talisman

“What you must remember is that the magic itself is neither good nor bad, no more so than this ship might be used for right or wrong. It might be used by a fisherman to feed a village, for example. Or, the same vessel might be sailed by pirates to murder and pillage...the lumber, rope, nails, cotton, and everything that goes into it-is created by the True One. Humans decide how it is to be put together and how it is used.”
Derek Donais, MetalMagic: Talisman

“It wasn’t that everything was going my way, but I began to believe that the way it was going was perfect. I accepted that where I was in life, was exactly where I was supposed to be.”
Hippie, Snowflake Obsidian: Memoir of a Cutter

“I’ve noticed in my life that the people who act as my angels are not some strange angelic creatures that seem almost untouchable, but are more real than that. They are people who have tasted sorrow, who have felt pain, and in a way, that makes them capable of being an angel. In their darkest moments they have become strong.”
Hippie, Snowflake Obsidian: Memoir of a Cutter

“I started wondering if God really existed. The world seemed too empty and lonely for there to be a God in it. But I figured he must exist because I kept blaming everything on him.”
Hippie, Snowflake Obsidian: Memoir of a Cutter

“I realized that I don't want to try to change you in order to be with you. That's not fair to you. And I deserve to share my life with someone who's on the same path as me, and right now, that's not you. But I need you to know that you have been such a strength and a comfort to me when I had nothing and," I started to cry, "I love you so much. You truly are my best friend. I don't want to have to imagine my world without you in it. But if following my truth creates that, then know that I will always love you no matter what you choose to do with your life.”
Hippie
