about me

I promise to read at least three chapters of at least one of the stories of everyone who has backed or commented upon Fracture War: The Montana Crisis. Please understand, I am not going to back someone simply because they back me, and would not ask anyone else to do the same for me. Even if it is outside the genres I normally read or enjoy (Thriller, Military, Science Fiction, Legal Drama, Medical Drama, Fantasy). Thank you to everyone who has backed me so far, I will be posting the next five chapters online next weekend, and I hope you enjoy them.

Eric Mertz is a twenty-one year old student from Kansas City, Kansas, where he has lived his entire life. He has been an aspiring writer since the summers between his second and third grade years, when his father gave him a copy of Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, which he then proceeded to read through twice that summer.

He spent his four years in High School participating in Debate and Forensics, regularly placing in the top six in Model Congress and later Model Senate for his rational argumentation and constitutional knowledge.

He earned his Eagle Scout in the summer of his 18th year, and is currently studying to be an officer in the United States Navy. He also co-hosts a Talk-Radio Show on the Johnson County Community College Internet Radio Station from 1:00-3:00 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.

His first novel, Fracture War: The Montana Crisis, is the first in a globe-spanning series that will tell of a world fracturing at the domestic and foreign seams, from the unlikely new metropolis of Bozeman, Montana, to the radioactive crater where downtown Beijing once stood, to the blood stained square in Tbilisi, Georgia, and beyond.

A storm is coming, are you prepared?
