Well folks, I have a pretty fantastic announcement to make: I'm writing a full Destiny book! A lot of people in the community have been asking me to do so for around seven months or so. I finally decided to do it. It is told through some unique characters and many characters you guys know.
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about. I am a film and video game writer, as well as a film director. I've written a lot of video games as a Senior Writer and supporting dialogue writer, including The Flesh That Hates, Fallout: The Frontier, Lords of New York, an unannounced IP by Open Flower Studios, as well as a couple feature films and live-action video game promos. I've worked with devs Lunchtime Studios, Terrorweed Games, Undertow Games, Divinity Studios, Open Flower Studios, and several indie devs across the globe as well. I also make world renowned video game trailers and such for games such as the ones above as well as SCP: Containment Breach, Fallout: Dust, and Fallout: Lonestar. So i've been in the game industry for some time.

Because of this I found great pleasure writing small lore based snippets and sharing them in the Facebook group 7 or so months ago. They got huge in the community so I continued writing them. This slowly evolved into writing chapters of small stories, my most well known being the three chapters I wrote starring Kabr and his fire team in the Vault of Glass. Entirely original work. You can find that here (Took me a total of around 20 minutes of writing all three chapters. Excuse any left over mistakes)

Another story that got quite a bit of attention which just spanned a single chapter, called "To Rebuild".

It also looks like I'm the first one to write a Destiny book! I not only plan to cover known lore based events, but also create entirely new locations and more.
It'll be one hell of a challenge, but I look forward to it. Also considering I'm not a part of Bungie, it'll be released for free! :D
Keep in mind there is also the very possible chance Bungie may try and put a stop to me writing the book if they consider it infringement on their property. If that happens, I may not be able to release it as a book, but as a grouping of chapters instead (pretty much the same thing it seems). I would be grateful though if Bungie let me release the book for free.
Feel free to ask away on any questions.
