The Key to Reality

An elite cybersecurity analyst tries to strike a work / life balance and fails so cataclysmically, he breaks the fabric of space-time.

Brandon thought the assignment was just another standard security assessment. Wrong. As he peels back the layers of a deepening conspiracy, he discovers everything he thought he knew about his reality is a lie.

And he's the only one who can save it.

Exiles from another reality see Brandon's new knowledge as the key to victory over their tyrannical king and his immortal army. Pursued by both loyalists and rebels as he crosses the borders between realities, Brandon must protect his family, while figuring out who to trust.

Choosing well means rescuing his family, and saving both worlds, but choosing poorly will empower a malevolent evil to wipe out humanity.

F. Ted Atchley, III, is a writer, gamer, all around geek and cat parent who can work a random Star Wars quote into almost any conversation. His goal is to serve readers with stories that can be enjoyed on their own as clean fantastical tales with memorable characters, but will also contain deeper truths.

He writes for people who are just like himself. People who struggle with feeling like they are hopeless, worthless, or useless. People who believe they will never measure up and never be enough.

Through his stories, he seeks to tear down every barrier, and smash every warped philosophy that stands between them and finding the truth that leads to love, acceptance, worth, value, meaning, and purpose that they all so desperately want and need.

Ted lives in beautiful Charleston, SC with his wife and children.
