Author and Iraq War Veteran Transforms PTSD Struggle into Literature with Debut Novel

    RIVERSIDE, CA, June 24, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Ancient forces that govern the heavens above, and the earth below, are dying. A malevolent force has been locked away. But the hands of evil are reaching far and wide destroying the balance of all existence. Given all the tools to succeed, can an outcast find the purpose to save everyone who's turned their back on him, and heal a broken past? The only way to find out will be to read the latest novel by Elijah Pepper.

But who is Elijah Pepper? Pepper was born in San Diego to a mother with the foresight to teach him to read well before kindergarten. Reading let him explore the world long before he could step on a plane.

At the age of eighteen Pepper joined the United States Army, following a family tradition as well as paying for college. It was while attending college he was recalled to Iraq, where his writing truly began to blossom, his time in Iraq would also fundamentally change his life for good and for ill.

Shortly after returning from Iraq, Elijah Pepper suffered from a break down. Like many returning veterans he had developed PTSD from his experiences. His refusal to acknowledge them finally came to a head, hitting him hard.

Elijah Pepper spent nearly a year homeless, though he never lost hope. He worked hard and managed to get back on his feet. So when PTSD once again reared its ugly head he was ready and channeled everything into his writing.

For some people writing may be a passion, for Pepper it is a passion and a life saver. All of this, and more, can be seen in the Sacra Mage series.
