"Who am I? I am Spider-Man."

Well, not really, but this should tell you all you need to know about me and my writing style.

I'm a huge Marvel (plus Game of Thrones, Star Trek AND Star Wars) fan, which shows since my novel is loaded with pop culture references. If you are a sci-fi fan (I assume that you are, otherwise what are you doing here?) you will enjoy them tremendously. I even went full Deadpool in my first draft and broke the fourth wall multiple times, until my editor told it was distracting and kept taking her out of the moment. Shame. Those fourth-wall breaks were hilarious. Still, I can guarantee a few laugh-out-loud moments. Case in point: The "good" aliens in my novel are a race of pranksters, whose main goal in life is pulling

Ross J. Kinnaird

Ross Joseph Kinnaird was born in the United States something like 1000 years ago. Moved to Italy when only an infant, he grew up in the deep south, shaped by the sun and the wildness of the sea. After moving to Ireland in 2010, he started to collect and collate the many stories he had written.

They all seemed to have one theme, one soul. With the Celtic magic brought to him by his new home, Ross had finally seen with the mistic eyes of the mind his novel taking shape. And so The Power of Love became the journey of a lifetime, perhaps many lifetimes.

In between reality and fantasy, he fused together the many way life presented to him. In a literary roller-coaster of emotions and feelings, pain, sorrow, happiness, friendship, love, Ross J. Kin
