Riley spent the first twelve years of his life being in a military family. Moving from country to state to state back to another country, he struggled to make friends. Books were close to him from a young age, and he loved to read.
In school, he kicked and screamed and refused to do the homework assigned by the teachers. He challenged them to bring out their tests, and let him ace them from the start of the class.
The teachers denied him.
When he graduated from High School, Riley worked as a dishwasher in a nursing home. He learned about different kinds of diets, and how to thicken foods. He learned that coffee that is a thick as pudding still tastes surprisingly like coffee.

After years of being the low man in a low job, Riley trained to become a CNA. He loved his job. He could help people, interact, and just have fun being himself all while helping the injured or infirm to go about their days.
Riley worked in a psychiatric hospital, where he learned that in a way, we're all just a little insane. From watching patients that talked to walls, to working with other staff members that talked to their dogs (Like literally talked to them.) he saw the thin line that separates average people from insanity.
An injury outside of work chased RIley from the job he was unable to do. Lost, broken, and abandoned by the workplace he loved (Can't do the work, can't keep the job) Riley was forced to seek disability. He longs for the day that he can return to the job he loved, working with people everyday to help them live their lives.
For now, he writes whatever comes to him. There's horror, there's fantasy, there's science fiction, and there's even a few descents into hell. Riley went from someone who HATED (Cannot emphasize that enough) writing to someone who doesn't want to survive without it, all in the short span of one year. He wrote Breath of the Titans: The False Titanbringer, and hasn't looked back.
I love making friends, so feel free to drop a request on me!

Sara is Riley's companion. She doesn't understand the persistent need to write that her husband has, but she is a good wife who loves her husband. She supports him by making sure the drivel that leaves his mouth isn't completely full of idiocy. ...more

Switching To A Plant Based Diet Day 10

No, you didn’t miss any posts. I have been focusing on getting my videos up on TikTok and YouTube, and I haven’t posted them here. I think I am only going to post the videos here when I have something to add to the message of the video.

Today is a perfect example. I wanted to explain some of the vegetables I am enjoying and why I chose to eat them.

The first vegetable I’m going to talk about is the
