Where It All Began

Currently I have published my second book Through Darkness They Will Come and can't wait for you all to read it and talk about it here. The first book I wrote was more of a test, it was a small 60-page book called Trapped and it was to determine how KDP works and how self-publishing as a whole works. For those of you who don't know if your hang up for not writing your own book is you didn't want to deal with having to find a publisher well, I'm here to tell you, self-publishing is pretty easy. There are pitfalls and things you need to look out for when self-publishing but nothing that you can't get across if you take your time and do it right. I started writing back in grade school and continued to write short stories and a lot of poetry, most of that has been lost to time because it was all on single sheets of paper that I randomly wrote on and then shoved in a book bag, or notebook which later got either thrown away or thrown in a box in a closet somewhere. The point is I had a pretty big passion for writing from an early age, now whether or not it was any good is up for debate an only you the reader can determine if you like or dislike my work. This pushed me into AOL chat rooms where we would pencil and paper rpg, where you write out every detail of what you are doing, and you and a group of strangers talk and interact with each other in a world that you all build in your imagination no pictures no video just words on paper. This later transformed into what used to be called message boards where sub threads with different worlds or places or whatever you wanted to make up and create on paper which allowed for a more leisurely way to play because it gave people time to read and respond, I had one myself a long time ago called Seeds of Theory. Long story short it has always been a passion of mine to write a book. So, I did, and I kept writing and am currently working on my third book. Currently Through Darkness They Will Come is going to be a 3-part series where Wren our main character will travel across worlds and find out things about himself, he didn't know and do things that are unimaginable. Join me on this road to writing we will discuss this book more in depth over the coming months, and I am working on a podcast that will give a deeper dive into the way I constructed this story. Enjoy and Read On!!
