Hi, my name is Chris Matherne. I was reviewing a book by a well known fantasy adventure writer with a friend one day and complained about the slow pace and lack of action. I was promptly challenged to write a better story than the well known author. I never considered writing a book before but quickly warmed up to the idea. I wrote the kind of book I like but could rarely find. The Shaping of a Destiny is a fast paced adventure with tons of action. I was told by the friend, "you met the challenge all too well." So far, all my readers have given me thumbs up on a job well done. So if you like fantasy adventure with plenty of action carrying you through a great story you will love The Shaping of a Destiny.
