"...I've always had a great desire to travel the world. The prairie is home, and much of the world can seem so alien in comparison. Being far from the ocean, I was awestruck the first time I took a plane overseas, and when I walked along the shores of the Emerald Isles. It was so beautiful, and refreshing. I wanted to see more. I wanted to see as much of the world as I could. I still do. This desire to travel has often been coupled with two of my other greatest desires. To write, and to be part of something greater than myself. I love to write because even when I can't travel, a world can be created with just a pen and some paper." Zechariah Barrett has loved to write since about ten years of age. He enjoys experimenting in various genres and finding ways to enhance the reading experience with each book. His latest series, "The Detective Games," marks his debut in the mystery / thriller genres.
