About Author:
I’m Raymond Hairston, an author from Northern California, where I was born and still live today. I served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Nimitz during the First Gulf War as part of Desert Shield, an experience that gave me a unique perspective on life, conflict, and resilience. After my military service, I studied at Modesto Junior College and went on to work in a variety of fields. Some of my most rewarding experiences, outside of writing, came from my time in the hotel industry, where I worked as both a Director of Sales and a General Manager.
I first began writing many years ago while living in Livorno, Italy, where the idea for my fictional world started to take shape. When my wife became disabled, I found myself spending more time at home, which gave me the opportunity to return to writing. I’ve recently finished my debut novel, set in the world of 500A.H. (After Holocaust), and I’m already working on the second and third books in the series. Writing has become my passion, and I’m excited to continue developing this world and sharing these stories with readers.
In a world reborn from the ashes of destruction, magic and technology exist in a fragile balance. Five hundred years after the Creator and the new gods saved humanity from ruin, the Six Kingdoms remain divided by power struggles and ancient rivalries. Robert McMatheiss, President of the New Confederation, seeks to claim an uncharted paradise, but his ambitions threaten to plunge the world into war. At the heart of the conflict are the umanomagi, a group of down-trodden people with unpredictable magical abilities, caught between human alliances and powerful magical forces.
As the umanomagi fight for survival in an increasingly hostile world, they must confront threats from both advancing technology and their own dark secrets. With betrayal and shifting loyalties on all sides, the question of trust becomes ever more uncertain. Will the umanomagi survive a war that threatens not only their existence but the very world they seek to protect? "500A.H. War of the Umanomagi" is a relentless tale of war, survival, and the blurred line between hero and monster.
