As a young boy I soaked up books as if they were water touching a dry sponge, but when I discovered the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien my world changed. I was able to find characters with depth and a world full of all kind of mystery, adventure, action, and a place that I could escape from the things I was dealing with on a daily basis.
When I write my desire is to give someone that same feeling. I don't write novels. I document what my characters tell me to write. I take time to get to know them, their history, their ups and downs, their likes and dislikes. Do they like coffee or tea? Are they morning people or night owls? I also desire for the world to be familiar, but yet at the same time dig deeper behind the normal "let's quickly write a book because it sounds like fun" world of writing.
My first trilogy is a look into the supernatural world of angels and demons. What you will not find is your typical Character "A" fights off Character "B" and good triumphs over evil. Reality is not like that, and even though fantasy is suppose to take you away from reality, I believe that there needs to be a different insight that allows us to escape into a good book. One that allows that escape, but also keeps us ground in our life. I believe a fantasy book can also provide truths that will make you challenge your views and way of doing life.
Book three in the trilogy has been written and is currently going through the editing progress. I am now staring a new military action series. Along with that working on a stand alone novel that will challenge you to realize that we get so wrapped up in our every day struggles of life that we forget the world is our own backyard.
