Since the beginning of my memories, stories have been my escape. Diving headlong into worlds of wonder spun out of nothing but human imagination, I’ve vicariously ridden the highs and lows in the lives of heroes and heroines, raged at the villains and celebrated with visceral glee when the bad-guy gets his comeuppance.
Many times I’ve suffered a period of mourning when I had to leave those much loved characters to a life beyond the end of the book. Then spending the months and years after jumping on anything new from a favored author, hoping to recapture those moments where, through their eyes, I could experience something that transcended the day-to-day.
And for as long as I have read, watched and listened to these stories, I’ve had the same nagging question at the back of my mind – could I write stories that people want to get lost in too?
Well, after 40+ years of wondering, I’ve decided it’s time to find out.
I’m inviting you along for the journey (if you’re game).
It might turn out to be total shit. But it might turn out great too.
