A
word about my writing philosophy –
When
any author asks readers to invest cash and, more importantly, their
valuable time by reading his books, I believe they can expect the writer
to be committed to a credo. What
can readers depend on when they pick up one of my novels and start
turning pages? Here are the
principles I adhere to when authoring a novel.
First, I believe readers are thinkers.
Their sharp minds want to be challenged as they’re entertained.
They look for nuggets in the gravel.
They mull over the logic of what they’re reading.
They value the subtle as well as the obvious.
They want to find a truth, a girder to strengthen the strong
structure they make of their lives and that separate them from the
non-reader. It’s one of
the reasons all my novels have an underlying theme.
For example, September on Echo Creek is a story about a young woman struggling with the ethics and morality of her fiancée, but on a
deeper level the book explores the way guilt strings are used to control
a person and the ruinous impact on their life.
