Do you have to feel something for it to be real or mean anything? Can you touch your dreams, taste your imagination.

Between a gasp and a sigh, a life can change forever.

At the heart of any poor soul not at one with the Force, there is only void.

It wasn't a case of me sitting down and thinking, right then, what shall I do with my life? Airline pilot? Plumber? Guitar manufacturer? Writer .... yeah, writer. I've always loved writing, from a very early age--I guess I was writing my first stories when I was still in single digits. It progressed, and the love of writing grew in my mind and is still growing. Doing it full-time, there are different stresses and tensions, and the business side of it comes to the fore sometimes. But I still love it, and I'm always thankful that I can do what I do and make a living from it.

Hate misleads, fear distorts and love blinds.

I like to think I'm positive and optimistic about things generally, but what I write does tend towards the darker end of the spectrum.

Any writer takes inspiration from what they read and watch, and over their career works on forming their own voice. I think it was probably Stephen King who made me want to become a writer.
