Ready to embark on the next chapter of his life, Sam celebrated his eighteenth birthday, weighed his options, had countless conversations with his dad and faithful best friend, and knew it was time to head out into the real world. His hometown and job at Walgreens would be left behind.
Sam was not prepared for the world that awaited him; a world his dad never mentioned, along with a promise to keep Sam hidden.
Several weeks ago, something awakened in Sam. It was a secret he only shared with his best friend, and something they agreed to explore together. A secret that would change both of their lives, forever.
As they explored Sam’s strange abilities, others took notice. In their world, everyone was accounted for. Their population was heavily governed, and their existence was a secret equally guarded. There was one trait that always distinguished the different bloodlines of their species – the glimmer. Now, the others knew Sam had awakened and they were coming, coming for him!
I'm a navy veteran who served from 1999 to 2013. I was blessed to spent the first ten years of my enlistment forward deployed to Yokosuka, Japan. I utilized downtime while deployed, or in port and between missions, to write my first novel. It's a craft I've been honing for over twenty years, and a journey I began long before my enlistment. Since I moved into the civilian chapter of my life, I have continued to self-publish my work and continue to evolve as a writer. I never thought I'd land in Kentucky, but it's here that my stories are brought to life, and I will continue to write those stories until the day God calls me home.
During my naval career, I've experienced parts of Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and a few parts of the Mediterranean. Those were some intense and adventurous years of my life. In writing, I've tapped into those experiences of adventure and awe to breath life into my work. Hopefully it brings the same thrill and excitement to the worlds I am pulling out from behind the veil of my imagination. I've dabbled through fantasy, science-fiction, and horror. It's always the journey that enthralls me, the adventure that tunnels its way out of my mind and forces me to scribble it down before it eats me alive — and yes, it HAS eaten me alive!
As I have sunk further down the writer's rabbit hole, I have begun building my first literary universe. Dramïr volume I is available now at Amazon! And volume 2 is coming soon! Woot Woot, Hoo-rah, and all that Jazz! I have also continued my walk with Christ, and I praise God every day, for this life He dropped me into. I've learned the closer I grow to God, the more He helps me use the gifts He has given me… my friends, I'll see you between the pages.
