Excerpt
Two:
Joe could feel more sweat beading on his forehead. He didn’t back away from Blonsky’s stare
despite his own fear. He couldn’t. He just wasn’t taught that way. His mom, dad, granddad, and grand-mom had all
taught him to never back away from a stare.
A man is only as good as his handshake and if he can look another man in
the eye without flinching, his granddad had always said. It was somewhat of a
family motto.

AUTHOR Bio and Link:
Belart Wright was
born and raised in Detroit Michigan with a short but adventurous stint in St.
Ignace during his childhood. Always poor, Belart had to learn to use his
imagination to fuel the fun he had. Whether it was drawing cool and dangerous
looking heroes to creating fully fledged storylines with his action figures to writing
stories about kids similar to himself with fantastic abilities and destinies,
Belart was always an expert in delving into other worlds that were not his own.
Always naturally
talented at writing, it took the advice of his brother, and a little creative
boost from his high school creative writing teacher to get him to realize that
writing was something he could do really well and pursue as a career. To this
day he revels in building worlds and characters from the ground up such as the
worlds of Hell Warriors, Story of K, Cyborgs and Deadmen, and Pannam which are
all working titles.
In his spare time
Belart tries to update his two blogs whenever he can, but mostly just ends up
writing or editing. As a huge gamer he plays a lot of games online and off with
his favorites at the time being Borderlands 2, Phantasy Star Online, X-Men
Legends, and Dark Souls. He just wishes he had more time to whittle his
impossibly long gaming list down which goes all the way back to PS1 and Sega
Genesis classics. He and his buddies at FlubberKnuckle Studios are also working
on several new game IPs. He is also patiently waiting for the next installment
of the superb Legacy of Kain series.
