It's #RIAuthor Month! Meet Mike Squatrito
Your name is Harrison Cross. You’re a righteous warrior with an undying will to avenge your parent’s death and the power to reunite humanity. However, every step along your journey is met with obstacles – people stealing your prized possessions, the Scynthians, a marauding species of ogre-like beings that want to eradicate your race, the ruthless Lord Hammer of Concur and his menacing army, and a land filled with creatures that hinder your progress – but you persevere. Along the way you’re beaten, punished, and mocked for your beliefs, you witness friends dying, you’re hungry and tired, yet you persevere. Your will is your asset, both a blessing and a curse. People you meet admire you and want to help with your cause; they become friends for life. Others want to tear you down. You possess God-given physical skills that are tested each and every day. You must not only fight to stay alive, but think as well. And think you do. Your friends are your rock and you will never betray them. It’s not in your nature. You meet the love of your life and you will protect her forever. You gladly place the burden of the world on your shoulders and carry everyone with you. You persevere, the word quit not in your vocabulary. In the end, the result of your life is a simple outcome. Either you win or you die.
