I'm obsessed with her. I watch her. I follow her. To see her lips move when she talks on the phone. To see her take down her hair while no one else is watching. I want to taste her. Down to her marrow. Write her onto every cell. Change the paths of every synapse. Inhale her. Convert oxygen into an undiscovered state of matter. But I'd consume her. And I could never. Would never tell her.
He left because he said I was too good. Whatever that means. So I tried to move on. I did move on. Mostly. But moving on tends to put you right back where you last left your heart, like some sort of sadistic serendipity. You can't live without your heart. And I want it back. After I show him who he really left. After I show him all the things I'd wanted. After he knows what it feels like to lose it. He might want to run.
Each of us has a purpose; a destiny that is unique to us and no one else. We are all called to that purpose, and throughout our lives we are reminded that it is there, waiting for us to accept its challenge. Most would like to follow theirs but "life" gets in the way. We make excuses why we can't do something that seems impossible, and if we fail along the way, fear is waiting for us the next time we try. This adventure is the result of one youth's response to that challenge. Aiden is not unlike most of us - he has unique ideas regarding the world and passionate dreams of discovering the mysterious marvels that many question about and seldom find satisfying answers. In Book One of the Aiden Shepherd Series, Aiden is a young eighteen year old man, recently graduated from high school, and struggling to determine what path to take towards his future. A great void in his life has begun to take shape, he feels hollow and unfulfilled. As a young man with vast spiritual insight and a keen intellect he battles the beliefs that have served as his foundation since childhood. The world looks more broken each day, and there doesn't appear to be any way of fixing it. But forces much greater than he have already put plans into motion.
Where in time is Aiden Pike going now? Armed with a new Dewey Decimal Classification, he tempts fate again by researching in the Shackleton Falls Public Library. He meets a new friend, but will he share with her what's been going on when he takes a book off the shelf?
A maverick Prophet and his descendents reset humanity's evolutionary clock by rescuing a new human species from annihilation. Subsequently, Aiden the Androgyne assists Matron the biological AI supercomputer to reset the universe into a new configuration as their final act before time itself comes to an end. The Xerses Chronicles is a futuristic Sci-Fi thriller series set with mystical undertones.

In this inspirational storybook written in rhyme, Annabelle asks "Why do we look, the way that we do? With hands and feet, in neat sets of two? What made my eyes? And what made my nose? And the shape of my body, from my head to my toes?" A wise owl answers with the amazing story of Darwinian evolution, and perhaps more importantly, what we can learn from it: to be kind to one another, as we are all related in the same family tree.
