Mark Bordner
Actually, it was while recovering from a stroke. I was stuck at home, bored out of my mind, and trying to piece my life back together again.
My wife was the one who suggested I use the time to pursue my lifelong dream. So, I pulled together about 15 years worth of ideas, and compiled them into Episode 1. It was my first real try at completing a novel, and attempting to do it with my brain muddled from the stroke was no small task.
Once it was done, I was happy with merely finishing it, as it had been more or less just something to fill the hours. My wife took it a step further, and found a publisher willing to offer a contract. I was astounded to have that come about, as I knew that my skill level had a lot to be desired.
Now, almost two years later, I have two books in a series on the market, more in production, and a 2-year option on a possible movie deal for the pilot episode. My head is spinning !
