He has a firm grasp on literature, which helps shape his stories into finely woven masterpieces. In his repertoire are many epic poems; and a Trilogy (The Fifth Angel's Trumpet) involving conspiracy, romance and hardcore action. Relevant to the day, his books are a critique of modern culture, an exploration of Democratic Socialism and often a scathing critique of The Self. His Essay collections include an attempt to create a universal theory of literature and also a short discourse on how to read poetry. A polymath, Neifert has touched every subject under the sun with his works, and has many visions of tomorrow for readers to discover. His sole labor under the sun is to enlighten readers to the power of a story.

Author's Bio

Brandon Neifert is the author of books including In Defense of the Story, a crowning achievement of autodidactism; My Collected Writings, a medley of various writings on diverse topics; and, The Love of Another, an epic novel starring a rowdy maverick colonel caught between a devastating, fifth world war and the love of his life. Neifert is a self-educated, self-published writer, who, much like his characters, strives for the moral best in both himself and society. A devoted Christian, Neifert was born-again when confronted with a sin from his adolescence that ultimately led to his confession and incarceration as an adult. Neifert has a colorful past, but makes up for it with his scrupulous observations of the human condition, framing both good and evil in ways that even the most skeptical can agree.
