"Cart The Soulless awoke in darkness." So my first fantasy novel begins. I've had ideas for a fantasy series kicking around in my brain for years. I grew up reading and watching fantasy, horror, and science fiction. The idea of a badass warrior resurrected by a god kept coming to me. Thus, Cart the Soulless was born. The first draft for Risen In Flame is done, and I'm about halfway through edits.
