Robert Orville Berkshirehide bio
Author has written 30 stories for Sci-Fi, General, Life, Politics, General, Humor, Essay, and Love. I am a surrealist. Take a Dali painting, turn it into words, throw in a bit of Oscar Wilde, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Stephen King, and the result is my work. I like horror a lot, but can't write it well; ditto for sci-fi. I incorporate symbolism into my work heavily, so usually the surrealism can be deconstructed when looked at from the proper perspective. As of 31-3-12, I am officially back on Fictionpress, and would be more than happy to help any aspiring authors who request my help. | |||||||
