So, as you can tell by the many inactive links in the menu above, I am in the middle (or sort of on the edge) of redesigning my website. Of course, there will be a contacts page, a link to the Facebook page for me, and the fan groups for my writings, as well as the long-awaited previews of my next two novels, MAYHEM and MURDER. I should have those up by the weekend if all goes well. I am not promising *which* weekend, but by some weekend as time allows.
I have lots of plans for the redesigned site, but I do want to save some of my surprises. What I want to know is – what do you want to see here? Are there tools I can provide, games you want to play, or forums you want to start? Please feel free to post a comment with suggestions, or use the contacts page to write to me directly. I may take a while to respond (I have a crazy schedule and four kids, so life is…. interesting) but I will respond as soon as I can.
Hope you all have a wonderful day, and thank you for stopping by.

About Derek
Derek Dykes was born on his Grandmothers' birthday in January 1973. The son of a local businessman and an artist, Derek and his brother Charles both grew up in an environment where creativity was encouraged. While earning healthy grades and participating in activities was important to Derek, they always took second place to what really mattered to him - his friends and family.
Derek found himself thrust into adulthood when his father died. Taking care of his responsibilities meant that his college education was put on hold. While he was unable to afford classes, he privately continued his studies in art, literature, archeology, Celtic history, and a cornucopia of other subjects that interested him.
Derek moved home to Mobile, Alabama in early 2008 after living away for almost a decade. His journey home was a catalyst for the foundation of his first novel, MADNESS. In addition to writing, Derek enjoys photography, parenting and using any medium available to bring the creations of his mind to life. More of Derek's work can be found by visiting www.derekdykes.com
