How much would you sacrifice to save humanity? That has been the question and finally… the answer is within.
When a corrupt human plans to siege Heaven, survival becomes the focus of all planes of existence. Having regained his humanity one piece at a time, Nathaniel Runnels must now join forces to avoid the destruction of reality as we know it. What, if anything, will survive? Book 3 of the Human Cycle shows just how much of their humanity they are willing to sacrifice to save humanity.
After years of working in advertising, I figured there were better ways to write fiction. Born on August 13th, I share birthdays with Alfred Hitchcock and Fidel Castro... an interesting coincidence since mom is Cuban and I love a good story.
Truth be told, ever since I was a kid I dreamt about being an inventor, I just didn't know I'd end up doing it using words. Where some people choose to invent new products, I’ve chosen to invent worlds through words.
In college, I studied psychology for 3 years before realizing that if I finished, I'd need a psychologist for myself. Not being too enticed by the whole full circle nature of that trajectory, I switched to Marketing, Advertising... and Psychology. Seems I just couldn't let it go.
A lover of Science Fiction and Fantasy, I’ve always loved writing and connecting with people. Mind you, although I love these genres, my reading tastes are as eclectic as my musical passions. So from rock to salsa to classical music, I also read and write in a variety of genres and am just as satisfied writing a review or a poem as I am working on my next novel. My obsession with the human aspect of who we are is deeply embedded in most of my work and my first book is no exception. Only Human is the first link within the Human Cycle, a three-book exploration of humanity through fiction.
I’m currently working on several projects, consistently put out free material on the blog (jdestradawriter.blogspot.com) and I rant with zest on Twitter via @jdestradawriter. I also have and instagram account (@jdestradawriter) if you want to see what I’m getting up to or what delicious beer I may recommend pairing with the book your reading.
My favorite band is Pearl Jam, I was born in Puerto Rico, I bodyboard and to me, playing a guitar is as therapeutic as a bleeding into a notebook with my pen. So by all means, visit, say hi and connect.
As it has been said, the journey is what really matters and believe me when I say, the Human Cycle Series by JD Estrada has been one hell of a ride! Stepping into this gritty fantasy completing the harmony of thought, balancing the supernatural and bringing beauty to all the characters in flowing form, the connectedness and interconnectedness, mythically identifiable. An artwork of the existence, each page opening its arms with wildness, HIs writing surpasses observations, and his descriptions stretch out far and wide. I absolutely adored the 90’s mix. Just like book 1 and 2, it drew me right in so pick it up and see what’ll do to you!
~ Through me is the way to the city of woe. Through me is the way to sorrow eternal. Through me is the way to the lost below. Justice moved my architect supernal. I was constructed by divine power, supreme wisdom, and love primordial. Before me no created things were. Save those eternal, and eternal I abide.
Dante Alighieri
My mother would have been thrilled to have read this series by JD Estrada. She had a love for the superunknown, inferno rising, and of course, vampires.
