Anyone who knows me knows that I am a very upfront, direct, and honest person. I don’t say things that I don’t mean, and I am very open about how I feel. I enjoy being active in the community, serving in food banks, volunteering in hospitals, and generally trying to help those out in need. I am motivated by my family, my career, and my goals as a writer. I always want to succeed and do the best that I can in each aspect of my life for my family and for self-satisfaction in accomplishing what I set out to do. As far as hobbies, I LOVE history, especially ancient history. first thoughts for this book began while I was deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wanted to tell a story…a realistic story in a fantastic setting surrounding a diverse group of characters with different personalities, flaws, religions, and thinking processes. One about a very flawed man who loved his kingdom. A man who, in many ways, was incomplete, shallow, and hollow. Many aspects of this book were loosely taken, or directly taken from similar personal instances or situations that I witnessed or have been involved with in my life/military career. Sadness is real. Loss of life is real. Bigotry is real. But so is love. And it is this combination that makes us human, interesting, and ultimately fascinating.

Dreams of Hegemony by Christopher Reamy is an epic fantasy that will have you on the edge of your seat and make sure that you are not going anywhere until you have read the novel through and reach the end. The story follows Cronos, a young emperor who is filled with the desire to restore the nation of Peridell to its lost greatness. His people are battered and bruised after the war with a mysterious force, but this is not enough to stop Cronos from making his people happy. Dedicated and brave, Cronos will stop at nothing, even if something is after him!
He is plagued by strange, horrific dreams that leave him breathless and fearful. These dreams bring about a sense of foreboding that he cannot let go of and that he cannot get out of his mind. He has no idea that these dreams are a warning of a future that is even grimmer than the past. He has to figure out what these dreams mean or else he will have to face total failure and lose his people and his realm once and for all. He is thrust into a position that can jeopardize his whole future and his life as well. Can Cronos find out what danger lies ahead? Or will he perish along with his people?
Boy, was this novel dark and intense! This is the best kind of dark literature that grips your attention and makes you beg for more. I loved reading about Cronos, his dreams that disturb him, and the way he starts to take action against it all. He is not afraid to take necessary action and he is not afraid to admit that he is scared, which makes him among the best protagonists that I have read this year. Fast-paced, action-packed and intelligently woven, Dreams of Hegemony is a wonderful novel and a fantastic piece of fiction that promises to be one of the best novels you will ever read! I was so happy and satisfied after reading it!
