I have been offline for quite some time, and for that I apologize. My full time job requires me to be a essential worker during this pandemic, and the stress of work and trying to keep my family safe has taken a tremendous toll on me. I noticed in late July that my creative spirit had dwindled. It's not gone, but the amount of stress I am hit with each day has made my creative side go into hiding. I have not written a word of a book in a few months now, but as I have some time off coming at the start and end of December I think its time I push through the noise that is life and start moving forward again. Divided We Fall is in pieces, written and torn apart 3 times already. I have saved the very best parts of each iteration, so that as I piece together what should be the final product it will be the very best of what I have to offer my supporting fans. I have a definite and set beginning in place, as do I have the ending along with the epilogue complete. It is getting all the bits together in the middle that I am being a bit of a perfectionist with. Rise of Aen took me over 4 years to write and as many rewrites as years. It was received so well that my aim is to create an epic ending for this series as it deserves such. And while there is the urge to keep the series going, I think the choice to end it here is the proper and most fitting one with the story I have drawn out. So my goal is to get my ass in gear, using the majority of my holidays to get this book done by the end of January. If I can hit that deadline, then the rest is rather easy and I would be looking at an early March release for Divided We Fall. The constant delays are on me. I will push past the stress and the creative blocks to give my best effort in getting this book done at long last. I appreciate everyone's patience, and I hope to reward you with the conclusion well worth your wait. Damian |

About the Author
I am a science fiction fan; always have been. The first novel I ever read was War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, and from there I was hooked. I love everything about the genre, as it reaches many different areas and has the MOST passionate fans.
It took a lot for me to find the part of me that wanted to write, and the life I built for myself still has a hard time figuring out that I am actually doing this. With the launch of the first novel - Rise of Aen - I wasn't sure this was something I would continue, but the response and praise from all the readers inspired me to keep writing.
I am an everyday regular guy. A lover of comics, video games, movies, and great stories. I look forward to being a regular over the years at the Western Canadian Comic-Cons, to both enjoy the festivities and offer my novels to those interested.
