About the author

First and foremost I am a father and a husband. I work full time as a civilian employed by the US army, and have also been known as a welder, electrician, carpenter, roofer, writer, painter, CNC machinist, and amongst many other things a romantic. I also belong to the eternal fraternal brotherhood of the United States Marine Corps, having served 8 years that showed me a much broader perspective of the world at large serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, The war on Terrorism, and the humanitarian effort in Liberia.

I currently live in southern Louisiana with my wife and children, though I grew up in Michigan, graduating high school in Mason MI. I also spent time living in North Carolina, Florida, and California during my time in the United States Marine Corps. I have always dreamed of publishing my work, and seeing it on a bookshelf in a store, however with the huge shift to digital media I finally realized that the dream was in my own hands. I tell my children that they can live their dreams, and I believe in leading by example.

I enjoy writing across several different genres from poetry, to children's stories, to full epic fantasies. Creating new characters for my readers to connect with, new worlds for them to immerse themselves in, and new ideas to wrap their minds around is an amazing if not humbling experience. I hope that all my readers can take something away from each of my books, and enjoy reading them just as much as I have enjoyed putting them in print.

3.5* Full review to come

[MartyAnne · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved books 1&2; at times though book3 made me wish I had never started........SPOILERS.

1. Everything is dark and gloomy with little color or hope.
2. Endless bat experiments that were reaallllly boring...went on too long when you know intrepid hero will do--and can do--and HAS done any unnatural thing...will surely do so to save his love.
3. Endless travel
4. Endless battle with mini-gnomes that accomplishes nothing
5. Gratuitous rape of a virgin colony...and zero plot implications from it other than shame...where is the restitution for such acts? Only Ishanya wonders what the outcome shall be in the terms of offspring. After all the pack leader is said to affirm the victim's fertility. Sickening details.

My advice to author: P
Pace the gore and pace dark emotions
Don't let the whole book get too heavy at one time
Allow for times of happiness longer thanking the time for simple love declarations...
Don't lose your fans as you progress the story...keep elements that got you there. Think hard about what got you there. If a reader of book 1 started book 3....would they care about what they read...would they respect character's use of powers now?

I no longer respect the wolves or the maye or his beloved who abused to fill her perverted needs. All these are gross perversions with no redeeming qualities left. Only the new king wand his consort hold any interest. All the kind decent people other than these are dead. I have no desire to read book 4.
