Having experience in science fiction as a child I would sneak and read my uncle's comic books. I've been an avid reader of science fiction and SCi Fi movies; I love horror. My uncle and I stayed up late watching horror, watching science fiction, watching cartoons, Birdman, Space Ghost, The Herculoids, Bionic 6, Transformers, the GoBots... the list goes on... I started reading comic books very young, at the age of 13, as a way to escape the rough life of Harlem New York City. Comic books were my escape; my favorite hero of all time is Superman; yes, Superman. We're talking about Christopher Reeves, the one and only original Superman, one of my heroes. Harlem was very rough for me when I grew up. Later on, I worked as a trash truck driver for Republic Waste Services. I worked as a security guard and did my work with pride; working every day, 6 days a week. While on guard duty, I would watch things like the Predator, the X-Men with Johnny Quest; and also catch up on my sports, the NBA and the NFL. I worked hard every day. I gave up my guard card and got a class B CDL and worked hard every day as a bus driver; and as a part-time gig, I would sell comics and toys for low prices, which I still do to this day.

Dr. Wyatt Barton just wants a normal life as a trauma surgeon at Mercy Hospital, leaving his covert military past behind. But when he survives a near-death experience during a classified mission, he returns with an extraordinary gift-clairvoyant visions that reveal terrorist attacks before they happen. As Wyatt struggles with PTSD nightmares and debilitating headaches, he's drawn into a dangerous web when he discovers a sophisticated terrorist cell embedded in Denver, led by charismatic aerospace executive Erik Jorgensen. This blond-haired, blue-eyed mastermind has spent decades building his cover while planning devastating drone attacks on American soil. When Wyatt's new girlfriend Gentri is kidnapped by Jorgensen, Wyatt must navigate betrayal from within the very agency that once employed him. Racing against time, he must use his combat skills and newfound abilities to prevent a catastrophic attack at a packed NFL stadium while rescuing the woman he loves. As Wyatt confronts the terrorist leader, he's haunted by divine instructions received during his near-death experience: he can keep his remarkable gift only if he refuses to kill again. Now, facing enemies who show no mercy, Wyatt must determine how far he'll go to save thousands-while risking everything, including his soul. If you enjoyed "Memory Man" by David Baldacci, "Oath of Honor" by Matthew Betley, or "The Contractor" by Mark Dawson, you'll love Blue Shadows.
