Why I Write
Many writing friends tell me that for them writing is like breathing. They have to do it every day or their life is not right for them.
Me? I am not that kind of writer. I write because I have a very specific story I want to tell. When the story is done I may not write again. Fear not if you enjoy reading me this story is very very long.
What I am publishing now, the sci fi series, is just the conclusion of a story that will eventually take us back to Eighteenth Century France.
When I publish “The Mother of the Galaxy” the final book in the sci fi series (this summer) I will begin work on the French Historical Romance.
What ties these two stories together?
They as a complete collection will be a family saga. Marcus Johnson is the last in a line that begins when two French Huguenots come to America before the Revolution.
My, as yet unpublished, novel “The Best in Each Other” is part of this saga and introduces us to the first “Johnson” in the line.
The initial story is based on a family myth, that recent evidence suggests may or may not be true.
Tomorrow I will discuss one of my favorite themes to explore: How Our Memories Trick Us.
