About
I'm a verse novel and short fiction author, screenwriter (for TV, film and the web), poet, actress and occasional blogger from Levittown, Pennsylvania. Currently living in Los Angeles, California, I've acted in dozens of TV shows, films and commercials, but returned to my writing roots for full creative expression. My fiction's written in verse -- with and without stanzas. (Without stanzas, it can almost pass as normal prose.) I'm writing my 2nd and 3rd verse novels -- Siblings & Other Torture Devices and Windmills. You can read excerpts from "Depth of Focus" and my works in progress or see some of my acting on my site, www.kenyadwilliamson.com.
Description
<p><strong><em>A tragic warrior lost in two worlds... Which one will he choose?</em></strong></p><p>The war in Iraq ended for Freddie when an IED explosion left his mind and body shattered. Once a skilled gamer as well as a capable soldier, he's now a broken warrior, emerging from a medically induced coma to discover he's inhabiting two separate realities.</p><p>The first is his waking world of pain, family trials, and remorse—and slow rehabilitation through the tender care of Becky, his physical therapist. The second is a dark fantasy realm of quests, demons, and magic, which Freddie enters when he sleeps. The lines soon blur for Freddie, not just caught between two worlds, but lost within himself.</p><p>Is he Lieutenant Freddie Williams, a leader of men, a proud officer in the US Army who has suffered such egregious injury and loss? Or is he Frederick, Prince of Stormwind, who must make sense of his horrific visions in order to save his embattled kingdom from the monstrous Horde, his only solace the beautiful gardener, Rebecca, whose gentle words calm the storms in his soul.</p><p>In the conscious world, the severely wounded vet faces a strangely similar and equally perilous mission to that of the prince—a journey along a dark road, haunted by demons of guilt and memory. Can he let patient, loving Becky into his damaged and shuttered heart? It may be his only way back from Hell.</p>
Story Behind The Book
Relationships are hard. Honesty doesn't always come easily. And neither does forgiveness. But, whether it's friendship, family or romance, everyone wants in on the game. Some just play harder than others.
"Depth of Focus: A Novel" can be read in what would appear to be normal prose or as poetry in "Depth of Focus: The Stanzas."
