Extinction Biographies

Before Daria was a Navy Corpsman, she was a little girl who loved looking at the heavens. A fateful shopping trip with her father will change the entire course of her life when two armed gunman take over the store. Not everyone will make it out alive...


Daria's story is one of ten character biographies that I have throughout my novel "Extinction". Each short story gives us a glimpse into the lives of our heroes before they were heroes. How did they get to where they are now, saving the galaxy? How did their stories intertwine with each other before they came to rely on one another for their very lives? These questions and more are answered in the "Extinction Biographies", a collection of the ten biographies from the main novel "Extinction". You can read these biographies and then come back here for the full novel!
