I started writing A Grip on Reality as a memoir for my two children - to set the record straight in many ways. Then as it developed I decided to write my first half century with a sequel on its way. Several writer friends gave me advise on self publishing and here I am today with an Ebook and the paperback coming very soon.

It allows you to explore a different world, an experience difficult describe. It's as though you become another person as the words flow through you. I think it's exciting to read what you've written and to say to yourself, "where did that come from"? I'm a memoir writer, so I don't delve into fiction which I'm sure would be another dimension of writing.
