Solomon Love: Voodoo Child

Derek Ward grew up in Tampa, Florida with a mostly normal childhood. With the exception of the all of the worlds and characters in his head demanding to get out and onto paper. After figuring out that he was not suited to engineering the hard way, Derek struggled through fast food management before finding accounting. After graduating from the University of South Florida with an accounting degree, Derek went to go work for the federal government as a data analyst. Still, the characters and worlds demand to be let out. Derek collaborated with Kenn Blanchard on *Zombie Strike!*, a 120-part serial that ran on Kenn’s ＂Black Man With a Gun＂ podcast. They also collaborated on the Solomon Love series. Derek continues to post stories and occasional blog posts at derek-ward.com. Reverend Kenneth V. Blanchard is an artist, musician, media consultant, podcast editor and producer, speaker, author, and gun enthusiast known internationally as the Black Man With A Gun.
