The Midnight Agency
The Midnight Agency Characters and Storylines It was 2009 when I first came up with the idea of a half-angel private investigator. I was stuck at the customer service desk while working at Kohls and had a notebook to keep me busy. This was when I figured I would write a novel. At this point, Laurel K. Hamilton and Charles de Lint were my go-to when it came to Urban Fantasy. I've always loved the supernatural and fantasy, so if a book involved dragons or creatures of the night, then I was in.

For some, especially for Martin Swoboda, his art reflects a sophisticated insight into the Black Live Matter movement within the United States and Europe. He has taken a brave stance, using his creativity and boldness to challenge our preconceptions of race and its place in the world today. He also pushes back against the status quo of racial injustice that permeates the fabric of our society and judicial systems.

Reducing the Stigma of Mental Health in the Armed Forces
Lack of awareness and the stigma of mental health problems are a significant problem in seeking help for our military personnel. This is especially true for men considering the suicide rate amongst men is four times higher. Many personnel may feel ashamed of what is going in their head and avoid speaking about these problems. In the military, talking about your mental health is a taboo subject that isn't openly discussed.

The Call of The Shadow
The fires raged in the forge. They echoed the power that lived within Valen. With every flicker of the flame, the magic within him raged. It poured out like a torrent of mighty water in a rushing river. Raising his hands, what was once unmarked skin became pocked with scars. They hurt.

An Exodus of Dragons
“Kaia! Now isn’t the time to dwell on regret.” The older dragon stood on the top of a plateau, its dark red scales glistening like priceless rubies in the twilight sun. It regarded Kaia kindly but knew the time had come for them to go. The world had changed, and others more powerful had come to claim the main lands of Aria as their own.

The Things We Don't Talk About in the Light
It took a lot of thought and balls to write this and even more to finally post this for the world to see. At times, I feel like any anxiety or depression I feel isn’t worth talking about or not worth it as I see others who have it worse. Tackling this part of me to ask or seek help is the hardest. Like most men, many of us see it as a sign of weakness and not one of strength.
