Dark Contemporary Fantasy

War Dog

01

Hound of the Gods Book #1

Drustan Seta spent his life fighting cryptids out of myths and legends. What that got him was PTSD, huge gaps in his memory, and an addiction to pain pills. When his only friend Frank goes missing, he believes that finding him might pull him out of his downward spiral. Instead, he gets sucked into a war between two factions bent on bringing back the old Gods and the magic they make possible. If either side prevails, it will mean the end of the world.

Alpha Reader of War Dog

”Reading your work is like listening to a poet laureate recite amazing poems in a thick New York accent.”

I can hardly describe it, psychological, fantastic, Imaginative, colorful. There is a genre in there someplace, and whatever it is, it is my kind of genre.

About the Author

Feel free to join me on my foray into the wonderful world of professional storytelling! I’ll be sending out a newsletter (theoretically), and using this site to keep everyone (including myself) up to date on the progress of my books!

Also, since traveling is a way of life for me and the far, far better half, I’ll probably be sharing stuff about our boat and our travels when we have them.

I have been called many things. The ones safe to repeat in public include special education teacher, sailor, martial artist, biker (the kind with loud engines and leather jackets), traveler, rock climber, sculptor, writer, actor, ADHD adult, husband, dog lover, and more that would probably bore you.

But when Daniel Nick starts referring to himself in the third person, he prefers to just be called an artist, and maybe a good person.
