The Boxer's Brother

I started The Boxer’s Brother in 2021 after writing 70,000 words of another manuscript. TBB was intended to be a genesis story. It quickly took on a life and soul of its own and it is now a much richer story than first expected. I’ll eventually get back to that first manuscript, however it may be a few books down the line.

For now, I concentrate on editing the third “final draft” of The Boxer’s Brother. Each time I read through, I edit and tinker with the story. I’m making it the best story that it can be, but I know I can’t edit it forever and at some point I must release it. That is the reason why I have created my author website. I work best under pressure, and there is no pressure like putting yourself out there.

So Hello World! Corny, I know, I have roots in the technology world and I can't help myself.

I’ll start providing information on the book and extras that will enrich the experience and provide resonance. I have a lot of ideas for what that might look like, so stay tuned for updates.
