However, I don't know where my
style has evolved. When I write,
I write as if you're seeing it
in the theaters (a goal I hope
someday to see in real life.)
I also like to lead you down on
direction and then completely
turn you around so you won't see
what's coming. Books are fun and
should be entertaining. My goal
is to do that and make sure you
don't figure it out until the
end. (Otherwise, where's the fun
in that?)
In 2001, I discovered paranormal
investigating and dedicated the
next fifteen years to studying
it. People would contact me with
reports of paranormal activity
in their homes and would invite
me in to witness it. Let's just
say that I've seen and
experienced things that only
Hollywood can dream about.
So with
over a decades worth of emails -
I decided to publish those
emails (minus the incriminating
details) and to this day, it
still continues to be my best
seller.
It wasn't till 2009 when Amazon
knocked down the publishing wall
that kept authors like me from
reaching readers like you. Three
years later I published my first
book Anica Storm and The Wand of
Time. It's a book about a young
woman who inherits magical
powers she wasn't meant to have.
That book was where I truly let
my imagination free and for
those of you who have read it,
you'll know what I'm talking
about. Around the same time I
finished that book, a series on
AMC called The Walking Dead
fascinated me. It wasn't so much
about the zombies, but how
people survived in a post
apocalyptic world. That's where
I drew my inspiration for both
my zombie novels - Self Aware.
However, I added a little twist
to the story and developed two
strong female leads that are
trying to survive in a world
that's out to kill them.
My next
goal is an exciting one. It's to
write a modern day race-to-space
novel with four main characters,
instead of the two or three
you're used to. I've been
researching all kinds of science
stuff to make the book as
realistic and believable as
possible.
I'm also excited that this book
will penetrate farther into the
book world than the others
because it's a genre a lot of
people read. In the next ten
years, people are going to be
all about Mars and going into
space and I think I can write a
book that will still hold its
own years down the road.
I appreciate you guys reading my
books and allowing me to tell
you a story. Someone once told
me "Readers need writers, and
writers need readers." Without
each other, where would we be?
So Thank you!
Sincerely,
Steven W.
