Hello World,
I'm the author of the Fallen Phoenix Series. A book series that started out just as something I was writing in my spare time in my senor year of high school. It was just going to be one book, Fallen Phoenix. But once I reached what I thought was going to be the end, the world wanted to keep building itself. So I continued on into the second. Once I was deep into that and really started to learn about the characters that lived there I realized that there needed to be a third book. And I thought that was it, just a simple trilogy. I was wrong. The characters demanded to have their stories told. So books four and five were created.

At first Before the Fall was before Within His Wings. But as I was writing in Within His Wings, a book from Anastasia's point of view, I realized there were things going on when her paths momentarily crossed Phoenix's. I wanted to carry over these intersections in Phoenix's book, Before the Fall, where the reader gets to see these interactions from his point of view.

So with these two additions, the series became fives books long. But still there needed to be more. So the idea of "Hidden Files" or short stories came to mind. Where events that happened to the characters or places in the series could be written that didn't have to be a full book in length. These short stories are sprinkled all over and are a bit of an Easter egg hunt to find.

I've also worked to create music playlist of songs that I believe best fit each book so if they were played while the books were being read, it would add an addition depth to the world. I plan to keep the digital versions of the books FREE, and if a physical copied is desired, then only the cost of production and shipping would be charged. While the eBooks are free, I still hold copyrights to them.
