Zack Brooks
Another New England born, slightly abrasive if you don't know me, but hey, that's New England for you. I'm a fantasy author, with content that's about on par with my own mouth. But, I go out of my way for those around me. I'm a father, husband, and love my life, even if I usually hate the general populace. I love my blunt style of writing, and often find myself pushing the boundaries of "acceptable" content. But, it's all in good fun, and as we all know, our characters develop into their own beings on their own fruition.

Amaford, a city of prosperity and trade. Merchants flock to it, sailors swear by it, but the people curse its name. For a city of such stature, its dark side runs to its core. Its people struggle to survive the harsh conditions that come with its popularity. More so, the people of its Bridge Districts, or better known as the slums. This is where we find our story, a story covered in filth and poverty.
What started out as a typical day in Amaford becomes something more as a young urchin finds himself constantly plotted against lady luck. Jimmy, a teenager with a long streak of bad jokes and a loose tongue, is forced into a situation that could change his life forever. Armed with a handful of knives, sub-par wit and the charm of a feral kitten, he finds himself struggling to save the day. It’s in this day that only Jimmy can show you what it’s like when shit truly hits the fan.
