About the author

Carlos grew up in Asheboro, North Carolina, where the only friends he had during his high school days were books. Stephen King Books. Ted Dekker books. Lemony Snicket books. And much, much more. He became inspired and started writing a novel, plus some short stories, which are listed below. He wrote his debut novel about mental health and is currently working a 40-hour-per-week warehouse job and enrolled in college full time, to complete an associate's in IT Networking by 2019. After switching careers, Carlos will revisit that novel he wrote that's been sitting in the drawer for far too long, and work extensively on it until it's ready for publication. And that's just the beginning . . . .

Reviews

[Ken Finlay · Rating 2 out of 5]

Kevin Johnson is working the crime pages on a local paper.
He wants out but he needs the cash it pays.
And then his novel hits the New York Times Bestseller list.
He finds a typewriter in a dustbin, brings it home, and finds that it has a life of its own.
So far, so good.
But then it just gets silly and stays that way to the end.
“Vengeance” is just 29 pages long and reads more like a first draft than a final product.
2 Stars.
