About the Author
How did i become a
writer? My story could be a book of itself. My journey is as daunting as it is
impossible. Yet it is all truth! I have been working in health care for many
years. It was when i decided to read books on my way to work that i stumbled
upon the possibility of writing. How did it happen? I take the train to get to
my job in N.Y.. I had become bored with reading the daily newspapers .It was
then that i decided to read a book instead. Mind you, i had not read a book in
years! I proceeded to read books by J.R. Tolkien, Anne Rice, Bram Stoker, and
George R.R. Martin. I found those books sooo cool! I love fantasy fiction. It
was when i became addicted to a certain series; that it happened. I read every
book from that series and when i asked the book store clerk when there
would be more the man gave me terrible
news. “Ha, that guy puts out a book every five, six years. “WHAT?! LIFE IS TOO
SHORT”! I could not believe that. It was then that i began to wonder what if i
(yes me) could write a book myself. This was a joke to me until i came up in
minutes with a plot for a fantasy fiction tale. HOW did i do that!? The plot
was way TOO COOL to just do nothing with.
And i will not lie. I made every type of mistake one could make in
learning how to write. I have had no formal training and i successfully dropped
out of college, years ago! (Please do not do this! It did not go well!)That
first idea became THE BOOK OF SWORDS, a medieval styled swords and sorcery
epic. (Draft2Digital) That book gave me many headaches, before i figured out
how to write it!(great e book that it is) So i took a break and wrote: THE LAST
KRAKEN,(The complete version on Draft2Digital/Smashwords/I Tunes,Only) a tale
of a giant, leviathan squid running amok, in the 1800’s England. It was when i
was writing that book that i began to realize that i had somehow in only a little more than a year (2013)became an
author. I finished that first book. I then proceeded to test a chapter of it on
my extra –smart-school teacher sister Carol. My sister invited me over to hear
my tale. My sister did not disappoint me. She gave me many words of
encouragement: “Let’s all have a good laugh”! were her words! I read her a
chapter. After i read that chapter my sister began to stutter and jaws were
dropping everywhere! “HOW IN THE HELL”?! were her words! And then i began to
write another book called REVENGE OF THE WOLF.
When my friends heard i was attempting this task they said: “You are
crazy! All of your books (so far) are about action! What do you know about
romance books”?! Who would do what i did?! It was crazy! I decided to become a
writer not knowing if i could even do it! I who had never wrote any type of
romance before did write that book! And what happened?! Four star reviews! And
accolades and something i never had before: FANS! AND SALES! (Enchanted helped!)I can still
remember when i was writing REVENGE OF THE WOLF (Draft2Digital/Smashwords/
Apple I-tunes) when i passed my laptop
to a girl i was dating and asked her to read an emotional turning point of this
Paranormal/romance/action/horror story. As she was reading it; i was in awe as
the woman slowly began to cry! I then spent the rest of that year writing many
books. And here i am! I am in this for the long haul. I am now an author and
somehow a poet/songwriter. I will now do
my best to write many stories that all occur in different settings, worlds and
time periods. All will contain my signature of fantasy fiction, Epic action and
romance! “My impossible journey just goes to show that one can never truly know
what they are capable of; until they give it that one good try! Never let ANYONE tell you what you cannot do!
I can be found on Goodreads Author page/Smashwords author page/Facebook Author
page. I love to hear from my fans! What’s next?! Romance/Action :REVENGE OF THE
WOLF2 (New Series) YA:THE WARPATH OF LOVE, THE BOOK OF SWORDS 2,THE BRAVE CRAB,
“211” And many more! I can truly say I LOVE
