When the truth about Excelsior came to light, Matthew Peters never imagined how much his life would change. In his mind, all he wanted was to live an ordinary teenage life. What he got, however, was something else entirely. Determined to help the Denarians survive, he immerses himself in what it means to be Excelsior. In doing so, he soon learns about the trials and tribulations of those who came before him. If he’s to succeed in saving Denab IV and its citizens, he’ll have to accept the inevitable whether he wants to or not.
Book two picks up where the first left off. We get to learn more about Denab IV and its ensuing plight, while having new threads develop along the way. Matthew has done everything possible to please the Elders, though he can’t deny the fact that he doesn’t feel adequate enough to be the person they want him to be. Deep inside, he wants nothing more than to go back to the life he left behind, even though he knows it’s impossible. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So . . . I wrote this tonight. This comes straight from a project I’m working on, mind you. I shan’t reveal which one, as I want you all to discover that when the time comes.
I’m sharing this because while this is something I wrote in a story, it also extends to real life. Although these words pertain to the character they were written for, in this little snippet, there’s a part of me in what’s been written. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

With every piece of the puzzle that falls into place, he’s able to understand the darkness that surrounds him. None of it lessens the fact that his life is far more complex than he could have ever imagined.
Edward hooked me into the story from the moment I began reading. At first glance, I thought the story would lean more towards a book tailored to a younger generation. The further I got, however, that idea got shot through the window. The author has such a unique way of telling a story that you find yourself engrossed in it. So much so, that you start to imagine the worlds he’s created that are centered around this complex character. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
