edit data

I began writing when I was about 15 and by the time I graduated high school I was able to put the Destinies of Heroes stories together. I had a lot of support from family and friends. After The Sword of Narcustos was published I met my wife. I have continued writing and since had two great children. The Sword of Narcustos is the first novel in the Destinies of Heroes series.
