Welcome readers,

I should tell you a bit about myself and my journey as a writer from my earlier years. I began a Bachelor of Arts Degree Majoring in Visual Arts with basically a double degree in Literature. Australian and Greek and Roman Mythology being my favourite of those subjects. I see my university education as the cornerstone for my development as a writer, as I learnt to write convincingly and persuasively to my lecturers.

Recently I've worked on a Master of Arts / Writing and Literature, with better grades than my undergraduate. I'm looking at the origins of all stories, based on Freud's, Jung's and Campbell's research into the spiritual nature of the dreams of ancient humans and how that apparently influenced the development of mythologies, fairy tales, etc.

A new series I've been working on, is a metaphorical Earth realm, with a mash-up of characters from myth, religion and fairy tales, as well as some historical figures, in a shared world where they face a united danger of a vampire invasion that threatens to destroy the natural order of life. This new series borrows heavily from recent research within my studies, about Oedipus complex, Campbell's hero journey, Jung's archetypes, etc.

My main hope as a writer is to share my stories and ideas, to touch peoples' lives and to inspire and create worthy experiences for readers.

The artist for the recent artworks is Minh Nguyen-flare3103. One of the most talented artists I believe I have ever seen in my lifetime. A true genius of creative visual artistic expression.

Kind Regards,

L.A. Hammer
