Story Behind The Book
The story behind my book is that question which drives everyone. Why are we here? One aspect of my story owes its thanks to an idea that sparked in my head almost 20 years ago. While I won't reveal that here because of the ramifications it would have on my storytelling, I can tell you the concept relates to who we are and has always remained with me.
Since then, my own personal experiences in life have culminated either through direction or chance, to help formulate a story and so, two years ago I began to write.
I hope you enjoy.
