Jacob Russell Dring is a novice author, with dreams of becoming successful in the field of horror and science-fiction. He joined Lulu in 2007 after finishing high school to flesh out his first novella ideas. Since then he has honed his craft, refined his style, and self-published a variety of both books and poetry collections. His fiction derives major inspiration from authors Kacy Curtis, Paul Zindel, H.P. Lovecraft, and Clive Barker. Horror, military, sci-fi, thriller, and often a blend of these genres are his favored mediums. The majority of his e-books are available for free download here, as well as a few titles for various prices in the Amazon Kindle store. As time progresses, he hopes to develop as a poet and author from criticisms both good and bad, but in the end he will always sustain the insatiable urge to write.
