My publisher, Blackstone Publishing. Thank you for reasonable deadlines and mostly, for believing in my talent. You can’t know the pride I feel when I tell people that I am “with a publisher.” It is a milestone that many independent writers secretly wish for. You have made mine come true. I will do my best to make you proud. Thank you, Blackstone Publishing.
My readers. I hope I lived up to your expectations. It takes months of work and personal sacrifice to create this series. I am grateful that you took the time to read my story. Thank you.
And so, the story of John Eric Carver and Shrek has ended. At least, for now. I earlier stated that authors write for many reasons. I write for you. This is the truth. Every day, I look at two things. Reviews and sales. I check the reviews first.
Please consider taking a few moments to leave a five-star review of the novel. Not only does it propel more sales, but it encourages my publisher to keep me working. But if I failed to live up to your expectations, all critiques are welcome. It makes me a better writer and shows me that you care.
Again, thank you and stay frosty.

He is a doctor and continues to practice today in Central Florida, where he started his career almost 30 years ago. A personal friend and successful author, Angery American, encouraged him to try his hand at writing.

Charlie, a 28-year-old drug rep, is caught in Orlando after an EMP destroys the country’s electric grid. Her attempts to survive the chaos and horrors of a society destroyed create a fast-paced story of death and redemption. The first book in this series sat at the top of Amazon’s dystopian category for over a month.
Walt’s future as an author looks bright, with planned novels in the medical mystery/action genre. further dystopian/science fiction novels and of course, the continuation of the Extinction Survival series.
