    About this ebook

    In the future, the Order of the Sword is the law and its soldiers are the swordsmen. This swordsman has had a rough week. He needs one night off from work and hopes to find it when he takes a seat in a small town pub. The atmosphere is nice and the people are friendly enough. The swordsman is ready to enjoy an evening of good times and strong drink, but unfortunately, is interrupted by a few surprises that keep him sober and running for his life.

    My relationship with writing can be the equivalent to the constant struggle of Good vs. Evil. Always intertwined in conflict, sometimes Evil wins a battle, but Good inevitable is winning the war...I'm Good in this scenario and writing is Evil that I love to duke it out with. For years I wrote when I had time. Now, I make time to write.Follow me on Twitter and my blog. The links are posted in my profile. Thanks for reading.Enjoy.
