Launch Day!
Today's the big day! My debut epic science fiction novel PYRAMIDS OF MERIDIAN is released. Reviews have been coming in and I'm happy to say many are positive.
It's been quite an adventure getting to this point. In college, I transitioned from meteorology to art. Then music came up, and DJ Komet was born. The dream was to become a world-renowned traveling DJ and producer of the harder styles of dance music. Yea, that didn't pan out (despite some mild success, check Youtube for example). Also dabbled in programming and game design.
Anyways, after graduation in 2013 and a year of living in mother's basement, I needed a day job. Tennis called to me and I heeded said call. Over the years I became quite proficient at teaching all those hardy strokes to a variety of clientele. Tennis became my main career, and I currently oversee a large junior tennis program up in Chicago.
For most of that time, I was writing on the side with another dream, a vision of becoming a successful sci-fi novelist. This desire to write novels was triggered after graduation by a combination of coming up with stories for videogames, and a literal dream I had of myself seeing my books in a bookstore. I just gave it a go one day and boom I was like...here we go. It sort of all happened in tandem with my music world.
I do think and hope that I learned from the mistakes of Komet (doing everything solo was NOT the way. Design, mastering, marketing, etc. I'm not that talented). I've gotten help with PoM (Pyramids of Meridian). Editing, more editing, beta readers, marketing/promotion, etc. We'll see how it goes this time 'round.
Join me on my newest dream and follow to keep up to date with my literary endeavors. If you like epic, dense space opera with big themes and mind-blowing twists, then PoM is for you, and most likely my future novels. Let's ride.
