Talisman: Nexus
Description
A broken father and desperate husband... a conflicted reporter... a vengeful intergalactic assassin. All bound together in a singular grief.
=== Talisman: Nexus opens in the bleak, icy expanse of Svalbard, where Liam "Foxy" Mayfield - known as The Talisman - stands at the crossroads of personal devastation and cosmic intrigue. His sons, Joseph and Carson, have been abducted by The Zorander, a former Talisman driven by vengeance, forcing Liam into a confrontation that is as much about family as it is about fate. He is now gutted, having bargained with the alien Aeterium Axis to save one thousand lives in exchange for the resurrection of his wife, Janine... and his mission has become nothing short of a nightmare. Within The Refuge, a clandestine Svalbard base, Liam's allies and loved ones gather in anxious anticipation. The group is fractured by blame, particularly toward former President Vance Cardona, whose alliance with President Evelyn Lynch led to Liam's exposure and vulnerability. Journalist Onyx Sleater, once obsessed with unmasking the vigilante she dubbed the "Dark Ghost," is now fiercely protective of Liam. Will Liam be able to save his sons? Will he triumph over The Zorander? What will the relationship dynamic be between Liam and his sons? And will Onyx Sleater have a much greater part to play that binds everyone together in an unexpected nexus? The shift from personal quest for resurrection to universal battle for liberation approaches. ===

He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy. In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more.
