My second book is about a boy who has Asperger's Syndrome and is bullied to the point to where he shoots up his school. I have divided the excerpts from it into three parts: Before, during and after the shooting.
As deafness, illness, and demonic forces close in around him, Ludwig van Beethoven must summon his faith and genius to complete the Missa Solemnis—a sacred masterpiece he believes could bring divine light into a darkening world.
To change the world into the place you would like it to be, write fiction.
Background
Information
I grew up in the military, living for two years in Japan, three years in Germany, and at various posts around the U.S. Although I've always wanted to write, I believe being exposed to various cultures has allowed me to develop an empathy with my characters. I have a multitude of various interests and do not write in any particular genre. Currently I have published historical novels, two police action thrillers, one mainstream fiction, and one non-fiction. I hope to have two more novels published within the next twelve months and intend to write until the pen is taken from my cold dead hand.
