Update
Hello Friends,
I am currently editing a manuscript I finished, titled The Never-Ender. It is a dystopian science fiction novel! Stay tuned!
I also decided to unpublish Jumpers. I believe the story is solid; it just needs more work. This was my first manuscript, so it's been a learning experience, to say the least.
I hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

First Draft Complete
Hello Friends,
I am excited to announce that I completed the first draft of The Never Ender, a manuscript I've been working on for the past four months! Now I must read through it and start the editing process.
It's a dystopian story set in the futuristic city of Utopia. In Utopia, the citizens work in the mines, unknowingly sacrificing and providing for the elites who live below them.
Young citizen Alex Tryker is discovered to have a special power. Dubbed a Never Ender, Alex has the ability to heal himself.
Will Alex be able to free himself from the corrupt government that controls Utopia and save its citizens?
Stay tuned to find out!

New Dystopian Story
Hello Friends,
I've decided to step away for a bit from the sequel to Jumpers. I've been struggling with the story.
I am working on a new story; the working title is The Never Ender. It's a dystopian type of science fiction story. I am having fun with it so far. Stay tuned for more to come!

The Pact
The Pact is the working title of book two in the Jumpers series. I just finished chapter two! I have been busy lately, so I haven't spent as much time as I'd like working on it, but be patient. It is coming in the near future!

The Creative Process
Ideas can be like living life forms. They tend to show their presence during the most mundane times—in the shower, while cooking dinner, while working. This seems to be out of one's own control. There is no rhyme or reason as to where these ideas come from. Are they part of some otherworldly being? Or just random inspirations from the mind?
At other times, one tends to do something to simply generate ideas. When feeling a sense of writer's block, one may go on a run or walk to generate ideas. Or one may talk with a friend to get the creative wheel spinning.
Ideas can be created on purpose or by accident. There is no right or wrong way to generate ideas. It's just important that the mystic creative fire continues to burn.
Happy writing.
