About the author
Drew Avera
95 books167 followersDrew Avera is a Navy veteran, musician, and the bestselling author of the Dead Planet series and the Alorian Wars.
He was born and raised in rural Mississippi and grew up with a deep affection for comic books and science fiction movies and television shows. At one point he boasted a comic book collection with more than 1,000 issues. His love for comics inspired him to pursue a career as a comic book artist, but an injury to his hand ended that dream permanently.
Still, he was inspired to create in one medium or the other. He picked up a guitar at fifteen years old and began writing songs almost immediately. That “obsession” as his parents called it put him on the path to rock stardom…in his bedroom.
It was when he turned sixteen and bought the novel “What Savage Beast” by Peter David (The Incredible Hulk) that he caught the bug to be a writer. Unfortunately, it would not come to fruition until fourteen years later.
Drew enlisted in the US Navy as an Aviation Electricians Mate at seventeen years old. He served twenty years and deployed on four combat deployments to the Persian Gulf. During those deployments he would spend his free time reading books. He loved reading books in a series and that inspired his journey to becoming a fiction author.
In November 2012, at the age of thirty, Drew began his journey as an author by participating in national Novel Writing Month (NANoWriMo). He published his first book in March of 2013 and the rest, as they say, is history. With more than twenty books published in the space opera, military science fiction, cyberpunk, and dystopian genres, he has built a backlog with something for everyone who enjoys science fiction adventures.
After retiring from the Navy, he began an exciting new career in the simulation field. Drew is now focusing his efforts on building upon what he learned in his first eight years of publishing. He has plans for an all-new space opera and military science fiction series as well as new collaborations with other writers.
The best is yet to come!

The Raven:
A glimpse into the chilling and broken mind of Michel Le Corbean, the Master of the Realms, who desires now to be newly called the Raven.
He fancies himself a artist in the way which Dr. Frankenstein must have thought his creation as science when it was a monster under the surface of stitching holding it together.
His history stretches into 1720's Paris, when his abusive father murdered his mother and we are told he killed his brother - all before a vampire named Andre de la Croix, a cleric, changes his victim into another vampire and the Raven flees to America.
Where he in the present day makes the Realms his home, and the people who dwell there call him Master, or Raven, at his pleasure - they include Tabitha, and Julian, and when he hopes to make another child of the night out of Natalie, mother of Angelica, wife of Alexander.
Yet when she instead dies at the hands of her husband, the Raven intends for Alexander to feel his vengeance.
Injustice :
Alexander Grimm finds himself imprisoned by the Raven, alternately starved or kept in the dark his fears for his daughter drive him to make a deal - a life for a life.
A deal with the Raven will change his life forever - he will serve the Raven as a death dealer, the Raven's creature which kill any who might threaten the Raven's power.
He will be trained as a killer for the Raven, to serve, and his daughter Angelica will live... but she will not be free and she will not be raised by Alexander or know him for her father.
Mr. Grimm :
It has been twenty years since Alexander Grimm became the Raven's hit-man, and it's business as usual until Mr. Grimm is called on to get rid of a witness that puts up no fight.
Judith and Julian, who have been with the Raven since the first story call upon Mr. Grimm for a meeting, with a deal of their own, because the Raven seems out of control within the Realms, having Mr. Grimm kill those who aren't a threat to him- like the witness.
It's a deal that calls for his death, and might result in the Raven's death as well, a rebellion in the Realms.
In the end either way, things won't be remaining the same...
