Difficulty at the Beginning...

...even though it's expected, beginners get their fair share of difficulty. The natural thing for an author is to sit down and write. Write long enough and you get a body of work. You become comfortable in your disciplines. Half a million words later, I find I've become a beginner again. I need to talk with you and listen to you so we can get you the stories and ideas worth your time. This might be marketing, but let's call it the study of "what would you like to read today?" I hope you'll read what I write and let me know what you need from me next. Getting that to you would make me a happy writer.

I have these stories that need to be told. They are written in English, but the outcomes of these stories may feel unfamiliar. I must go where my characters go. Oh the sights you'll see if you come along.

Observers will soon see that my fiction may be either fantasy or science fiction. I have separate standards for each genre to provide a consistent reading experience. I'd appreciate readers letting me know what they love, what they hate, and what they'd like more of and less of. Thank you for reading this far.

I plan to drop new blog posts on Tuesdays and Saturdays. This will be more about me and how my head got to its current author space, and not so much about story marketing. I've been around a while. I've paid attention. I reflect. I live in a world that embraces science but also embraces the "paranormal." We have the ability to develop mental skills that bring us into conversation with more advanced beings, some human and some terrestrial.
