Genre: Time Travel

William Fades is a soldier on a routine combat drop when a blinding light scatters him across time.

Now he fights in every war throughout human history—World War II trenches one moment, Vietnam jungles the next, ancient battlefields after that.

His body remembers each battlefield, though his mind struggles to understand. The only constant: a woman named Elizabeth who appears in every timeline with different faces but the same soul.

As Fades jumps between wars, his condition worsens. The shifts become more frequent. Reality fractures. Then in a bombed-out church, he meets a monk—an impossible older version of himself who offers a way out.

The choice sounds simple: lay down his weapons. Walk away from the fight. But for a man who has only known war, whose very existence spans all conflicts throughout history, can there be any escape?

For fans of SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE and THE FOREVER WAR comes a haunting tale of one man's battle against time, fate, and himself. A story of war, peace, and the choices that define us across all possible lives.

I live in Bradenton Florida with my wife and 2 kids. I've written several screenplays which have been optioned including Heavener. Currently  working on Heavener as a novel as well. My writing style is cinematic. I use sentence structure that is often straightforward and deliberately simple. I try to create vivid images with minimal text.
