“War is Hell, or Perhaps Heaven, depending on
the nature of the Warrior. This concept was the genesis
of the novel.”, the author states, leaning against his old
school ride, true to form down to the up swept fish tail
exhaust and the 16” apes.
Recently I had the pleasure of sitting down with
critically acclaimed novelist, Club founder and President, Saint Barnett.
Now, some of you are wondering why in the
blue hell you’re reading about some damn book in a
biker rag, right?? I know I would be, had I not read it
first.
Barnett is, first and foremost, a hard core, old
school Louisiana Biker, who’s ridden as both an Independent and MC all of his adult life. In his younger
years, he earned numerous Black Belts and Instructor
Certifications in multiple Martial Arts systems, which
came in handy, not only for the book, but for his 20+
years as a bouncer.
A few years ago, Barnett decided to sit down to
try writing the demons out of his head, and Perhaps
Heaven was born. In the middle of writing he took
some time out to found The Band Motorcycle Club,
finally perfecting and publishing the book in 2005.
Most of the book is loosely based on
experiences in Barnett’s past. According to him,
the “Warrior aspect was mostly from conversations
with my Son as he was developing into the Elite
Army Ranger he is today.” As we were talking, I was
mesmerized by the passion for his project coming
from this big burly tattooed beast of a man standing
before me. “As I began to delve into this over and over,
again and again, the dynamics of the eternal warrior
started to emerge and develop almost into obsession,
the theme of the eternal Warrior naturally led to the
age old struggle of Good vs. Evil.”
“Early on, we see the main character, John
David Saxxon, as a remorseless killing machine,
but there is so much more to the man, his trials and
challenges. I felt taking John David back to his teenage
years would reveal his true essence and strength of will
that defines his vulnerability as an outcast in the small
town where he was raised.”
Perhaps Heaven is a tale of love, hate, family,
passion, and revenge with some kick ass fight scenes
thrown in. The novel is available now on Amazon and
several other online book sites, under the pen name
John David Saxxon. The second book in the trilogy,
Perhaps Heaven: Aftermath will be available in early
2017.
If you see Saint Barnett out or at a rally, he’d be
more than happy to sign your copy.
