The Author
Hey everyone,
My name is Derek Hampton. Reading, writing, and media (video games, art, etc.) are my absolute passions. I have always loved creating in any form as it's relaxing, enriching, and something you can be proud of.
For a short history, in fourth grade I decided I'd be a video game designer when I was older. You can see how that turned out. From the stories I had developed in my younger days, I decided to pick up the ashes and turn one into a book idea. After many years of indecision, complete story overhauls, and a period of nothing but writing, we arrive at where we are now.
The Soul Prison is the first book in my Virtue of Rage series and I hope to bring many more for you guys to enjoy. Some of the biggest inspirations in my writing are the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones by HBO (based on the aforementioned book series by Martin), World of Warcraft and several accompanying novels by Blizzard Entertainment and Christie Golden, and even Dungeons & Dragons by Wizards of the Coast.
I hope you all enjoy and I look forward to hearing your thoughts as we progress on this journey!
