More About the Author

William Hayashi is a life-long member of the Information Technologies industry. Beginning as a programmer in the early 1970s, he currently owns his own business consulting firm and donates much of his time to the creation and maintenance of computer labs for schools, after school study centers and adult education programs.

Hayashi's diverse life experiences have come together to produce the first volume of a trilogy combining traits from the speculative fiction of Michael Crichton to the surprising plot twists of Robert Ludlum.

Hayashi's first ever movie script was the winner in the 2009 Chicago 48 Hour Film Project competition. His script for the film short, Fallout, won against 41 other scripts filmed for 2009's entries in the international competition and is available on YouTube. His short story, Your Two O'Clock Is Here, was also filmed in the same month and submitted to several film festivals around the world.

His first novel, Discovery, Volume 1 of the Darkside Trilogy, is the first installment of the story of a community of African Americans who beat Neil Armstrong to the moon and reside there for four decades before being discovered by those living on earth. Volume one of the trilogy, an engaging story, tells of how the United States of America makes this historic discovery and what happens in this country as a result. Discovery is now available for sale online and makes a great gift anytime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read..., January 18, 2010
By 
O. Williams (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Discovery (The Darkside Trilogy) (Paperback)
I found Hayashi's writing style, research, and story line quite intellectually stimulating and a smooth read. This work held my interest, as I read the entire work in a day and a half. I've read most of Michael Crichton's books, and I find that Discovery is just as good, if not better that anything Crichton wrote. Definitely as must read if you are a sci-fi fan.

This review is from: Discovery (The Darkside Trilogy) (Paperback)
I'm loving this book! It's big and the print is small, just what I need to bring to bed with me at night. The journey has barely begun but I can feel that cosmic pull!

5.0 out of 5 stars Waiting for the next book, June 20, 2011
This review is from: Discovery (The Darkside Trilogy) (Paperback)
Since I am not a sci-fi reader, I hesitated to read this book. However, since I had an autographed copy, I felt compelled to read it. What a surprise, I loved it. Knowing the author personally, also peaked my interest. Hurry with the second book, I'm getting on in years.
