edit data

I am a lifelong writer in many genres.
My novels and non-fiction work share the theme of exploring dark, unexplored places. That sounds pretentious, I know.
Mostly I make up stories and write them down. There is a special sub-conscious alchemy that is happening, but don’t look at me; I have no idea how it works.
Whether it’s boys chosen to be king, giant monsters attacking, kids with seemingly magical powers or just an unraveling of deeply held assumptions, I write to explore.
My only rule: It must be a great story.

Great exploration of one of the best works of this era. Jim Rugg deep dives in a way I didn't know I wanted. The section about coloring if far more fascinating then it has any right to be. I will never look at this story the same way again - and that's ...more
