I have been researching the history and background for the basis of this book for more than eight years to have some form of truth behind the fiction of the book so that the readers could relate and gain an interest in this book. I love history and science fiction and the way it allows you to not only learn from the past but see how it influences the future. I am in the military and find time when I can to write and my passion for it has been there since I was very young. I currently live in Kansas but due to being in the military I move around a lot, but in hindsight it allows me to meet a large array of people and learn about them and their cultures which I find extremely fascinating.
