Aloha everyone!
Happy New Year!!!!

I don't know about you, but I am quite done being so quiet, isolated and locked up. Though this period has been challenging, it's also been incredibly productive. I have several book projects that I have been working on and have written more this past year than I have in any other year of my life.

With that said, I wrote a novel that will be published in mid-2022! I have recently been turning over the final preparations for the manuscript.

It is a fun project: a generational saga, cultural commentary, a journey of self-reclamation, and of course, a love story.

Set in Des Moines, Iowa, Ivan has sidelined his life to climb the ladder of his professional career. While having been met with great success professionally, the situation of his home life with his aging, senile, and abusive father helps him to recognize how empty he feels inside. A few twists and turns later and he finds new love and subsequently begins to take his life more seriously.

Unfortunately, his brother-in-law is a lot like his father. While this leaves his sister unhappy in her marriage, it weighs even heavier upon his nephew. The urge to break out from cycles that have persisted for too long motivates Ivan and his Nephew to usher in some major life changes.

Title, cover, and more publishing details will be popping up in the next few months. I am also building a team of ARC readers so if you see this and would like to participate send me a message <3

Take care,

Daniel B. Martin
