Joey Scribenheimer is an accountant at a company that doesn't like official attention but what he really wants is to finish his epic fantasy trilogy. Sadly, the fates - and his own characters - are conspiring against him. With only his faithful cat by his side, Joey has to face down mobsters, fictional characters (his own), and supernatural forces if he's to have any hope of achieving his dream.This is a fantasy story but not a typical one. The quest is a trans-dimensional assassination. The hero is just trying to survive. Fast cars get a lot of face-time. And there are no dragons or dungeons. They all skipped town.Don't wait to read this non-stop thrill ride featuring villains who might be heroes, heroes who might not be villains, and gods who - well, you'll just have to see. Byron Gordon grew up in the rural Eastern Shore of Maryland, USA. One of six children, he soon discovered his love of reading, ranging from the clever humor of P.G. Wodehouse to the epic fantasy of Tolkien to the fast paced science fiction of Timothy Zahn. Fed on this widely varied diet, his imagination blossomed and he began to write, desiring to create worlds and adventures of his own.After realizing the bleak financial prospects of an aspiring writer trying to break into the fiction realm, Byron enlisted in the United States Coast Guard. He spent an extra week in Coast Guard Boot Camp (Cape May, NJ) for writing during the breaks between classes. After Boot Camp he traveled to California for training in radio communications. Following the completion of his training, he spent three years on a Coast Guard Cutter, interdicting and repatriating illegal migrants. He currently is still on active duty and plans search and rescue efforts on the east coast of the USA.Despite the intense, and often hectic, schedule that military life entails, Byron has continued to write in his free time. While writing a complete novel still proves elusive, he has composed multiple short stories and a small amount of poetry. In the spring of 2011, he started publishing his writings electronically and now has a fair number of short stories and poetry available online in a variety of formats.
