About this ebook
Despair: The Beginning is the first installment of a book series. Jason Dunston, lead protagonist is a smart, yet whimsically clumsy actuary working for a Math and Science institution. Him and his girlfriend, Amber, live together and everything in his life seems well. But everything changes when during an argument a bullet storm breaks through their living room window, killing Amber. Now Jason, along with is best friends, Michael and Lina, go on the search to find her killers. They say that the past can come back to haunt you, but no one could predict it would come like this.

Growing up, my favorite hobbies were reading and playing video games. A lot of my writing style comes from a combination of both, growing with every word I write. Throughout my life, reading has been my door to other worlds where every possibility is possible. Whenever I read something that made me feel something, whether it was a connection with a character or to a scene, I knew that creating emotions was something I wanted to do. My inspirations for writing come strongly from my friends and family, and in turn, I place them in my books as characters.
