R.L. Novak

A little about me:
As a knuckle dragging, whiskey drinking, hell-raising retired Marine, I'm genetically inclined to use the computer as a blunt instrument more-so than an outlet for my creativity. I am, however, active in several writing clubs, sites, and groups, and love sharing ideas and stories with other writers. 

I'm married to a beautiful and very patient woman, and have three surprisingly well-adjusted children in a peaceful corner of Maryland. We chose this location to be free from big city traffic, convenient shopping, luxuries, necessities, paved roads, running water...

I am currently rebranding some of my work. I learned a lot from my first novel, Heaven Seeks. I learned from putting word to story, a lot from my friend and editor, Moe (@Moewithane) and quite a bit from the comments from Wattpadian readers. 
I am hoping that the rebranding of "Heaven Seeks" as "Apocalypse Rising" will better capture the intent of the story and the audience that I was targeting. 
I'm also working on some other works of fantasy, and a story on PTSD. I hope to get all of it here, on this forum. I appreciate comments, feedback and interaction. It is what makes writing on here so much fun.
