Author has written 47 stories for Fantasy, Love, Life, Haiku, General, Nature, Romance, Humor, Play, Politics, Biography, and Humor. "Take the life-lie away from the average man and straight away you take away his happiness." -Henrik Ibsen That's my goal with my writing. I don't aim to entertain (though I hope I do, it helps to get people to read), but instead I aim at truth. Some people have criticized me for my simplistic writing style and for my darker themes, but I feel that it's far more important to show life as it is, to show real problems, to deal with the average person than it is to create elaborate fantasies with elves and monsters. I find elves and monsterss in my day to day life and show them through my writing. Having said so, I do romanticize, just not too much. I deal with the real and the imagined, the fears and the phobias, the loves and desires, but I do it in my own way. I find this writing to be the most artful, to have the most meaning, and to be the best representation of the time as a record of the world the way I see it, and I hope that that winds its way into the way you approach any works that I've created. If you find something that seems anachronistic to the rest of my works as a whole, look again, it might not be what it seems at first. Best of wishes. | |||||||
