rewritten and stronger than ever!
The Story Behind Strong
As many of you know, Strong began as a dare—one thrown down by my wife, Tabitha, during a night filled with laughter and a few drinks. I was sharing one of my off-the-cuff stories, and she looked me dead in the eye and said, “You should write that.” So I did.
The idea took shape after I learned about a rare condition called Myostatin Deficiency—a genetic anomaly that results in extreme muscle growth. I couldn’t help but wonder: what kind of life would a child with such strength grow into? What challenges would he face, not just physically, but emotionally and psychologically? What kind of man would he become when forced to live in the real world?
Strong is a fictional exploration of those questions, grounded in reality and discipline. But it’s also laced with pieces of my own past—some personal experiences and childhood demons I’ve chosen not to fully reveal. Instead, I play with those shadows throughout this suspenseful 320-page journey, giving readers a character whose strength is tested in more ways than one.

STRONG INTRODUCTIONWould you believe that superhuman strength is real—and that science classifies it as a disease? Imagine being born with a rare, extreme form of this condition, a mutation so unique it grants extraordinary strength, stamina, and an imposing physical presence. But such power comes at a cost.
For William Strong, growing up with Myostatin Deficiency was anything but a gift. He endured relentless bullying, was ostracized for his differences, and later, falsely accused of murder, he became a fugitive hunted by the law. Forced into the shadows of Milwaukee’s grim back alleys, William found refuge in isolation—until fate thrust him into the role of an unlikely hero. His brutal acts of vigilante justice, driven by bitterness and a thirst for revenge, struck terror into the hearts of criminals.
Yet, for all his immense strength, William’s greatest struggle lies within. His inability to forgive and his hardened heart weigh heavier than any physical burden, threatening to destroy the humanity he still clings to. His story is not one of power but of its price.
