ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I am currently an active duty Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) officer in the United States Army. Writing became a hobby of mine during one of my deployments to the Middle East and since then it has become a passion. The first installment of my Bystanders Saga started during that deployment and since then I have published a total of 6 works. I enjoy reading and writing about science-fiction, fantasy, and plots about superheroes. I also enjoy writing screenplays and teleplays.
I have been married to my wife, Jen, for 14 years and we have three children together, Thomas, Samuel, and Cameron. When I am not spending time with my family, I enjoy high-adrenaline activities such as skydiving, whitewater rafting, and rollercoasters.
"You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap, thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it.
That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence."
-Octavia E. Butler
