Growing up in the streets of Philadelphia, Al Ferber learned theres nothing so valuable as a fast punchHes a street kid all the way, and his writing style bears that out. The words jab and dance. Ignore the chidings of any coach. More often than not, Al will swagger into the ring. You know he hears the ding ding ding of the bell as his poems come out swinging and you will always be entertained. Karen Dabkowski, Editor, Blue House Magazine
Doom's Awakening In the cosmic tapestry of existence, a malevolent force stirs from its eternal slumber. The Supreme Master of Darkness, a primordial entity of malevolence, has devised a cataclysmic plan to subjugate humanity across countless planets that serve as beacons of divine light. This cosmic tyrant, freed from the constraints of an ancient prison, seeks to unleash his legion of demons, tortured and imprisoned in the Cauldron Galaxy's fiery crucible, planet Reddie. At the heart of this impending cosmic war stands Knowledge Mandaa, a brilliant and fearless superhero known to the world as the Brilliant Boy. Tasked with safeguarding the divine principles, he is the last line of defense against the encroaching darkness. Armed with the Quantum Storm Ring, a celestial artifact bestowed upon him by the Earth angel, Aquilon, he possesses extraordinary abilities to protect our world from the impending doom. Leading the demonic hordes is Bellatrix, a cunning and ruthless cherubim demon, and her formidable counterpart, Bellamy, an archangel turned demon. Together, they are the harbingers of chaos, their malevolent influence spreading like wildfire across the cosmos. As the battle for the fate of humanity and countless other worlds rages, Knowledge Mandaa must confront his greatest challenge yet: to defeat the Supreme Master of Darkness and prevent the annihilation of all that is good and holy. In a universe teetering on the brink of destruction, where light and darkness clash in an epic cosmic struggle, the fate of countless civilizations rests on the shoulders of one extraordinary individual. Will Knowledge Mandaa rise to the occasion and become the savior of the cosmos, or will the Supreme Master of Darkness plunge the universe into eternal darkness?
