About the author

Leonardo Ramirez

<p>Leonardo Ramirez is an author, a husband, a father, and a Karate instructor with a 4th&nbsp;degree black belt. His first graphic novel, <em>Haven of Dante</em>, is a supernatural Young Adult story centered on an ancient war between the Dante family and the nine circles of hell. <em>Haven of Dante: The Staff of Moshe</em> takes readers much deeper into the world of the family line with a prologue that begins with the plight of Dante Alighieri himself!</p><p>His follow up is a Children&rsquo;s Science Fiction&nbsp;book called <em>The Jupiter Chronicles: The Secret of the Great Red Spot.</em> It follows the adventure of two children as they are transported to the steam-powered cities of Jupiter, find their long-lost father, stop an attack from Mars, and witness the birth of Steampunk.</p><p>&quot;My heart and motive have always been for people who are hurting. These can be kids who have had to suffer through child abuse or neglect or an absent parent which can be equally torturous as was the case in <em>The Jupiter Chronicles</em>. It can also be young girls who have suffered an assault like Haven did in <em>Haven of Dante</em>. Young or old it doesn&rsquo;t matter. Those are the kids and adults I want to speak to because I&rsquo;ve been there.&quot;</p><p>It&rsquo;s not just Science Fiction.</p><p>It&rsquo;s &quot;Science Fiction for the Human Condition&quot;.</p><p>Leonardo Ramirez lives with his wife Kristen, their daughter Mackenzy and their two dogs, Duchess and Tinkerbell in Nolensville, Tennessee.</p><p></p><p></p>
