The Shadow Phil Hester

Marc Notes: The weed of crime, which once grew madly in the rich soil of the Great Depression, is now withering on the streets of New York. A new factory has sprung up among the shuttered sweatshops, sweeping the city's most notorious criminals and desperate lowlifes into its employ. When the Shadow's loyal operative Jericho Druke infiltrates the works, he finds it run by a fascist, technocratic madman bent on fomenting the racial tensions that threaten to shatter the United States. The Shadow and his team must destroy this factory of death before its lethal product poisons a nation.

Those are two things that I've said since I was elementary school and even as I write this, makes me smile. It's the answer to every "what do you like to do" question and according to my brothers something I've even yelled in my sleep. The magical places a book can take you are limitless and continue to surprise me to no end. I love reading and once I start my imagination starts moving and no one has been able to stop it. Whether it's a fanfiction about my favorite series, a short story or an attempt at a full fledged novel, writing has always been my greatest passion and something I don't think I will ever truly tire of.
