“The graphic details of the story brought me into every event as if I was there. ...I would recommend anyone who enjoys fantasy stories and reading about Native American culture to pick up The Pyres of Destiny.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Stephanie Chapman

The trial that captured the world’s attention has ended, leaving in its wake a path of humiliation and broken hearts. Jake and Dakota emerge scarred, but free from the shackles of both his past and her guarded secret, anxious to turn the page on a new chapter in their lives. Yet some wounds fester.

Behind the closed doors of the privileged, depravity and dark desires prevail. In a world mired in insatiable appetites and fueled by sins older than mankind, an ancient, evil entity gains strength.

Caught in the crosshairs between two worlds, can Jake and Dakota connect what was to what is? Can they bridge the physical and the supernatural? The Destiny of mankind may well hang in the balance.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the second book in the thrilling “Call of Destiny” series. Set against the backdrop of the American West, a tug of war unfolds between 21st-century forensics, American Indian spirituality, and ancient prophecy.

“The pace of the story is fast without being overwhelming. The narrative style is intriguing as well as simple; a nice combination that keeps the attention of readers on the story. The suspense was alive in the story, in fact, it was almost the protagonist.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Rabia Tanveer

“...continues to deliver the goods you expect the way its predecessor has delivered. D.M. Earley continues to make Jake and Dakota develop as characters as well as meticulously represent Native American culture. ...The Pyres of Destiny is a potent supernatural drama that stays committed in its depth.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Vincent Dublado

Like many new authors, I said for years I wanted to write a book. Life, careers, and other necessary evils seemed to always derail that goal. Then, last year, on a road trip out west, I found the spark that ignited The Temptation of Destiny.

My journey began in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. After high school, I joined the U.S. Coast Guard, spending the better part of eight years busting holes in the sky on C-130s. After the military, my career path meandered through the financial services industry, auto industry, bar industry, and construction management.

I am excited to start my next adventure with a move out west, and begin work on my second book. New Mexico, The Land of Enchantment, will provide the rich Native American mythology to take readers on another roller coaster ride (as The Temptation of Destiny does).

In my downtime, I enjoy hiking and other outdoor adventures with my wife. Hunting, fishing, and doing everything possible to stay from falling into the "status quo," fuels me.

When it's time to wind down this adventure we call life, I hope to be sitting in a cabin high in the alpine forests of the Rockies, spending the days with my wife, children, family, and friends, reminiscing about the blessings this life afforded us all.
