Rising Star

Derek Salazar used to be one of the richest, most powerful, influential members of The Billionaires’ Club. Then he lost everything when Apico Acquisitions carried out a hostile takeover of Derek’s company.

Now he’s working as a penniless salesman in the deepest, darkest, most forgotten corner of New Jersey. He’s a nobody and everyone treats him as one-everyone except his employer’s admin clerk.

Vivian Cooper doesn’t see anything special about Derek-except that he’s the only person in the office who treats her like a real person. Could this be the beginning of something extraordinary-or the path to ultimate heartbreak and destruction for both of them?

Author Biography

I write 70 books per year. And yes, before you ask, all these books are my original creative work.

Nothing written under my name is AI-generated or ghostwritten because I write better than AI and any ghostwriter out there.
​​
People don’t read fiction for entertainment or to escape from reality. People read fiction to see their humanity reflected in another person’s character and story.

This is my promise to you. When you read my books, you’ll see your own humanity reflected in the characters and stories.
I take this commitment to my readers very seriously. My books are an intimate form of communication between us. I would never disrespect my readers by turning that over to a machine or another writer.
This is my bond between me and you as my reader. I write 20,000 words per day as my daily work output. If anyone with a public platform would like to challenge me to prove this in a controlled environment,
​feel free to contact me on this website’s contact page. How do I do write so much? Find out more on my blog, Crimes Against Fiction. You can also read my newest releases for free on Wattpad and Royal Road. I started out working as a ghostwriter.
Now I’m on a mission to found my own publishing company starting with 700 books over the next ten years
​and 1400 books over the next twenty years, all originally written by me.
​
I’m also the author of Proof for the Existence of God and the Crimes Against Fiction blog. If you have a story idea, or if you would like me to explore a series in more depth, or if you’d like me to explore a character by writing a spinoff series about that character or world, leave me a message on this website’s contact page. I answer all reader emails, so ask me anything, tell me what you liked and didn’t like, and let me know where you’d like your favorite series to go. I would love to hear your ideas and find out what you’d like to read next.
