I am an author of fantasy, horror, paranormal, action and science fiction. For years now, I've watched people roll their eyes or give me 'that' look when I say I write about elves, dwarves, vampires, zombies and life on distant planets. My body may have gotten older but there is absolutely no reason I had to give up my childhood dreams. Because of that, I have a vivid imagination today and hope to instill this spark of magical whimsey in the younger generations who now seem so intent being entertained by videos. Yes, I realize I live vicariously through books but today's youth are living vicariously through the digitized world. There is so much more to see and do within the imagination. A book releases the mind. A video game is strictly all visual, just like the television. Although sounding much like a cliché, the imagination is a terrible thing to waste. Reading stimulates your mind's eye to see even more than that which the author may have intended. Yes, you wandered far and wide when you were young; a child filled with wonder while you or somebody else read the different stories. I write so you can once again embrace that fleeting moment and bring to life an elf, a vampire or perhaps an unusual alien on some far off planet.

Remember, you have a mind; you can follow the path or create your own. Now, which one sounds more exciting? Go ahead, read that book, create your path.
