Looking for an adrenalized infusion of blockbuster action this weekend?  If so, maybe read my story GAUNTLET :) 
          
          Also, I'm interested to learn some of my fellow Wattpad users' favorite action writers and books.  Personally, I'm a major fan of how Paolo Bacigalupi stages suspense and action.  The apartment shootout from TOOL OF WAR is an absolute masterclass in inlaid suspense and how to use violence to develop characters while advancing the narrative. 
          
          Cheers!

With GAUNTLET, I took a took a cinematic approach to my writing.  I wanted to keep things lean, mean, and moving fast.  
          
          How do you think Kyle's fight for survival compares to modern action classics such as John Wick and Sicario?  Does it remind you of a blockbuster you love?  Let me know! 
          
          Best,

Interested in the survival skills Kyle uses to make it through the GAUNTLET?

To anyone who stumbles on this page, I've just unleashed my first story on Wattpad:  GAUNTLET.   This relentless, nihilistic sprint through an isolated wilderness packed with lethal assassins will leave you sweaty and exhilarated.  Feedback is welcome!!
