Matthew Akers scaled the engineering highlands, creating prototypes and mass produced vehicles with American and foreign car companies.

Living out of suitcases from Detroit to Munich, and back again, only to be gathered with like-minded colleagues that never gave up the dream of creating something from nothing – and then delight in driving the hell out of it.
Somewhere over there, in the board rooms and factories of America and Bavaria, an author was born.

By grace, he owns a quiet slice of paradise with his family and writes in the scenic summits of South Carolina.

Part One: Get Them!

Son Of Adam, takes us on the thrill ride exposing the monster lurking inside each of us.

Cal, a black, rough tempered, hard-nosed automotive engineer driving his way around life’s twisting race-track until the second Gulf War places him on a collision course with a pedophile serial killer in a distant war-torn land. Lives changed forever in an instant of horror.

Quotes by Matthew Akers  (?)

“Look, even in the shadows of skyscrapers some still stumble over the rubble of Babylon and stay separate. But a fearless few cross our lines of language. Lamp-led messengers show the common ground we’re already standing on – if we’ll just look. There’s light.”
Matthew Akers

“Sometimes we listen with different ears and sometimes we see with different eyes. The messenger isn’t what’s important – it’s the message they carry.”
Matthew Akers

“There is nothing like the truth to make those hiding from it extremely angry.”
Matthew Akers

“If you're in a life and death struggle, and I handed you a weapon, would you use it?

God has handed you the most power weapon: The Name of Jesus.
All He requires is that you practice using it.
Fire at will!”

Matthew Akers All:

Ok...I have not yet added every book I've ever read. Please be patient.

Just so you know...That smacked me in the face when an author befriended me here on goodreads.com, and I had not added their wonderful books.

Thanks, goodreads.com!

Love,
Matthew Akers


Matthew Akers Thank you, Michael.

The auto business wasn't as fun as I thought.

Deep inside, like you, there was always the desire to tell stories - to make others feel what we feel.


Michael Atencio I love and always wanted to design cars. How lucky you've been to do that - and writing now? Wow, very impressive. Thanks for joining my group, Marketing 101 - I wish. Please make any comments about marketing, branding or developing a POD or E-book.
