I can actually say it now. I have published my first novel. An idea that I came up with back in early high school, one that I spent the last 5-or-so years on, is now a reality. In Print. Formally, I am now a published author. 

I am typing this at 1:10 a.m., and so my words are a bit scatterbrained, but I hope I am conveying the amount of excitement runs through my veins. I am so excited as to what 2014 holds in terms of my growing literary career, so much so that I have named my new years resolution: to be within the top 100 on the Amazon book charts. 

I know that 88% (or so, I've never been good at made up numbers) of people who try new years resolutions never go through with them, but I would like this to be less of a new years resolution and more like a solid, attainable goal. Let's see how well it does! 

To anyone who may be reading this, who want to pursue a desire or dream of your own in this upcoming year, I have only select words: Just go out there and do it. I know many writers who are just as good if not better than myself, who aren't confident in their skills or whatnot. If you want the world to hear your voice, you just need to speak up. 

I want to thank everyone who had a hand in making the dream a reality. To God, who gave me the drive and inspiration to actually create a novel; to Sarah Elrod and Robert Torres, who read selections from the novel back when it was in its infant stages; to Matra and Hannah Kreig, who beta tested the novel when it entered stage two and beyond; to my family (including but not limited to my grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins); and Gytha Nydam for beta reading the novel in its later stages. 

If you would like to purchase a copy either on your Amazon Kindle, or on the Amazon Print Store, you can do so! Kindle e-books are $11, while print copies are $15.

Thanks, and I'll try to get back into the habit of posting on here! Look forward to the rebooted audio podcast of the novel coming soon!

Overlord of Intermine,

So I've been told lately that I haven't been too clear on what this novel is about. Let's fix that, because it doesn't help to be posting all of this cool stuff if no one knows anything about The Intermine Legacy!

----------------------------------

The first book in the series, which is known as "I am the Darkness," follows a secret, underground cryogenics laboratory known as Intermine Laboratories. Created in the wake of a post-apocalyptic event known as "The Cataclysm" to the survivors, it created as close to a society like the one before the Cataclysm that it could, providing fresh, filtrated air, and electricity to its inhabitants. The only catch was that you devote five years of your life frozen inside of a cryogenic berth in the name of human research. 

50 years after its foundation, Intermine Laboratories is exactly what it aimed not to be, a horrifying hive for villainy and wickedness. When several random test subjects are awoken from stasis unexpectedly, they will find that they are destined to play their part in a war between the Light and the Darkness that has been raging for thousands of years, outside the walls of Intermine. But some things they are made to witness will make them wish that they never woke up.

As I write this entry, I'm sitting on the couch of the artist who is working on the cover art for the first entry of "The Intermine Legacy." It is now that I realize that this isn't just a dream. This is reality.
