Inspiration comes in unexpected ways, from a single conversation sometimes, to long standing ideas I wish to share.
If I hit a wall, and realise something isn't working, I take a walk and look to things around me, and find that life just impacts the thought processes and fires up the imagination.
I allow the world to affect my mind.
The hardest step is the first step, when picking up the laptop and starting the process. Writing brings a world of imagination to life in my mind, that I hope to capture in the works I hope you will read.
I take quiet times to daydream and think and let the mind go where it goes.
Everything is a work in progress!
The story doesn't need to be complete in my mind before starting, because the act of writing and juggling ideas brings the same inspiration that caused me to start writing in the first place. It's a positively reinforcing loop!
I seem happier with my later works, so I guess I'm still, or was once, a rather bad writer, but I'm working hard on the dream of a best-seller!
CITIZEN I
What adventures await the three brothers in this warm and blessed summer, a summer from which they will all emerge changed forever? As the sun warms the hay, so it warms the hearts of the boys and those who begin to develop deep affection for them, like Tom and his family. Yet, farm life is also brutal, and the ultimate outcome of the summer will be different for all three of the boys... both now and in their adult lives. For one brother, it will push him to change the very world.
THE EAST WIND
When Greg met Sarah, he knew that he would stop at nothing to win her heart and overcome all the obstacles which kept them apart. But Greg had scars that were more than skin deep, and Sarah wanted, needed to know all about the man she loved. The tale that follows is a heart-rending evocation of a different time and a life that many would find hard to conceive. A life where, as a child, the one person who should protect you ends up hurting you and those most precious to you, over and over again. As Greg starts to reveal the story to Sarah, he finds that sharing the hurt and the anger can have a cathartic effect. At the centre of it all, there is a woman who will stop at nothing to protect and cherish her children, whatever the consequences to herself.
THE FOUNTAIN OF THE FOUR RIVERS
Tells a story about George Lancaster, just a regular guy, except for one big secret. He wants more out of life, he wants everything, and he wants it now, and he's prepared to steal it. He considers a daring criminal deed. Carefully, unhindered, step by step he travels down a road towards a point of no return. Risking his freedom on a calculated gamble to gain everything, if he travels that road, will he be able to control the demons he finds?
Then something changes, a horrible day wrecks his life, tears his heart open, an unspeakable offence, that sets him on a new path. He practices familiar skills to rid the world of its most unwanted blight. Too good at what he does, he charges towards destiny and an ultimate abhorrent nemesis. An evil threat rooted in the long distant past, an unavoidable threat, that brings an inevitable challenge.
BLOOD FALLS
In ‘Blood Falls’ I offer a speculative warning when nature’s own defences spring into overdrive against self-assured hubris. Unseating the most destructive species on Earth from its prime position in the food chain. When Mother Nature brings her own new alphas, that deviously execute unseen rear-guard offences, to correct the balance of life in the world.
New Antarctic lands are discovered, new forests have grown, new habitats develop, from long-dormant seeds once sealed in ice. Global warming has happened. The continental landmass of Antarctica has emerged. Only a residual dome of ice remains. Those scientists who predicted the worst implications of devastating climate change find themselves astonished. Something unexpected happens. When nature fights back, to restore the balance of life on planet earth. Something else feels the life-force of warming sunlight. Something that threatens an Antarctic research team, and the entire world.
