Well, as you see above I live in sunny So. Cal, I write, I am learning to draw, learning to play the guitar, REading and reviewing, blogging, trying to live and get healthy. I've written my first novel: The Gathering: Book One of the Lia Fail Chronicles. It's an epic fantasy/ adventure, romance, horror set in a future California after the last World War. For more info you can go to my website. I also have a Blog, about my life, my writing and my book reviews. It's at http://sldearing1.wordpress.com/
I am a fan of everything nerd, Rock & Roll, fantasy, Star Wars and Star Trek, Comics (mostly horror anthologies, but I did the super heroes too), Horror movies, all movies, anything to do with Jack the Ripper (but mostly the Maybrick theory - YES, I am a diary enthusiast) and for that matter profiling and affiliated programs. Ok, now I 'm rambling so I'm gonna stop so you don't leave due to boredom...next question...
I write because I'm moved to write. History fuels my creativity and the news of today. I often ask the question, what if? and then my mind begins spinning and the story begins to "percolate" and when it's boiling hot, I pour it out as it were. I fought the urge to write a long time and it always found an outlet. I've comes to terms with who I am and what I do and I believe I do it well... of course, you can't please everyone, so I don't worry about it. Have fun and love what you write, after all, even if no one else reads it, you have and you love it.
Hmmm, Stephen King - The Stand, Night Shift, Dolores Claiborne, Carrie, Creepshow... Dean Koontz - The Bad Place, Phantoms, Intensity... J. K. Rowling - The Harry Potter Series...
