Futurality

Zavier Williams is a computer hacker, so he thinks he knows what he’s getting into when he steals the code for a video game that hasn’t come out yet. When he tries to sell it on the black market, his buyer turns out to be an NSA agent with orders to detain or kill. Zavier soon learns that the game’s title – Futurality – is way more literal than he thought it was.

I wrote my first story in first grade. My horrible chickenscratch handwriting made it impossible for anyone to read it, and for some reason I didn’t have the foresight to pursue word processing or self-publication options. The story was about time travel. I remember that I got to meet the Jetsons, as well as some Dinosaurs (Dinosaurs are awesome, I highly recommend them if you get the chance, and a working time travel apparatus). In high school, I wrote two full length novels, a fantasy novel (after a full rewrite it become Bareloth, an award winning novel I wrote for my senior thesis in college) and a science fiction novel called Futurality. I also took classes in poetry and fiction writing and wrote dozens of poems and short stories. Other than writing, I spent most of my time in high school boxing (my amateur record was 2-1-1), running track, playing xbox, reading, and waiting for college. The wait was brutal. But it was well worth it. In 2007, I moved to Philadelphia where I attended the University of the Arts. I wrote two novels while I was at UArts, a horror story called Vengeance and a fantasy novel called Bareloth. My work with Bareloth won me the University’s Jean Baker Memorial Award for Excellence in Writing. In 2011, I received a B.S. in Communication with a minor in Creative Writing. Today, I still live in Philly. I work at a nightclub in center city as a bouncer, and as a personal boxing trainer during the day (go to jboxing.com for more on that). Even with those two jobs, my real title is author, and I pursue my dream to the fullest, every day.
