AS Hamilton

I've enjoyed writing since I was very young, expanding on the scenes that appear in a moment of inspiration into short stories and novels. I've also written dozens of lyrics and poems. I am inspired by the people around me, my experiences, and the music I listen to (which ranges from classical through to pop to symphonic metal and rock 'n' roll). I always have half a dozen projects on the go, so I'm never short on writing ideas. As long as it involves some kind of writing or editing, I am happy to be doing it. I have Neuropathic Pain Disorder - unremitting pain caused by dysfunctional nerves - and so I sleep very little (amongst dealing with many other challenges); writing gives me a positive outward focus and is one pain penalty I pay without regret.

I started writing as a hobby because it is something I enjoy doing so much. Given a myriad of options for activities, if writing is on the list, then I'll choose that over everything else. Over the years I decided it would be great to be able to share my stories and so decided to self-publish and see how that went. I hope you enjoy my books as much as I enjoyed writing them.
