It's only been a matter of months since Bob's defeat at the hands of Grimm. He's no closer to understanding how he came to possess the soul he has or how he seemed to be able to hurt the most powerful, frightening Journeyman in recorded history. Out of options, Bob travels to San Diego to meet with The Clockmaker, a Senior Journeyman who's only known to a few select individuals. He must study the abilities of Journeymen and the nature of souls to find out how to stop Grimm. Grimm is frustratingly close to breaking the limitations of his role in death. Each new blacksoul he collects gives him more power, but each time he fails to kill only enrages him more. In this final chapter in The Journals of Bob Drifter, the inevitable confrontation between Bob and Grimm reaches its climax, and the role of Journeymen in the lives of the living will never be the same.
M. L. S. Weech was born in August 1979 in Rapid City, South Dakota. He fell in love with fantasy and science fiction at an early age. His love of writing quickly followed when he tried to write a sequel to his favorite movie. He didn't know what copyright infringement was. He can't remember a time he wasn't working on some sort of project from that day on. He wrote for a junior high project. The only way his freshman English teacher could get him to settle down was to let him start writing a book. He completed what he calls his first manuscript when he was 17. He got a ton of feedback that was honest, helpful, and not much fun to listen to, but instead of quit, he simply wrote another, and then another.
He fell in love with reading in high school when he was introduced to Timothy Zahn and the Star Wars novels. Then he was handed Anne McCaffrey, Robert Jordan, Dean Koontz, Brandon Sanderson and so many more. He went from reading to complete homework to reading more than three books a month.
He joined the U.S. Navy as a journalist in 2005. He served on aircraft carriers and destroyers. He served in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan. He finished his Navy career in 2015 at the Defense Information School, where he still teaches journalism as a civilian instructor. When he wasn't taking pictures or writing features or news stories, he was writing fiction. Photojournalism was a hobby he enjoyed getting paid for, but writing fiction has been and remains his true dream.
His first book, The Journals of Bob Drifter was published March 3, 2015, and he’s published more than ten since. He’s happily married and a father of three wonderful sons.
