Why write a book?

Welcome, friends and fans, to Rhetorical Lunacy! This is my second blog, as the first didn't go too well (charges are still pending, but my lawyer thinks I can avoid jail time).

I just finished the seventh edit of my book, The Hidden War (title may not be final), and started this blog as a means to get in contact with my fans, give them updates on whats going on with me, and answer any questions they may have about my work.

You're probably asking, Why write a book? The answer is I have always wanted to write one. My friends have heard me say that many times over the years. Heck, I once had a good friend named Kevin Smith (not that one, though he was a chunky guy with beard) draw me up some character designs for the Protagonist. As I turn my head left and look at those same designs, I realize my dream has always been to do this.

I did what any budding author would do and researched the project online. After several hours of depressing statistics and warnings to try a less difficult job (like bomb disposal specialist or air traffic controller), I sat down and typed it out. I won't say what a roller coaster ride it has been since then (in this post), but I will say that it is a rewarding and fulfilling task. I enjoyed it so much, I decided become an author full time. And on the day that happens, I will sprinkle salt over all the places hell just froze over.

But this blog won't only be about my book. I'll toss in mentions of things I enjoy, politics, video games, and other things that cross my mind. Also, if you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments and I will answer them in due course.


I just want to give a shout out to someone who deserves it:

Sherri Cook Woosley at Coffee House Fiction. This is the lady who managed to take the jumbled mess I wrote and edit it into a roughly readable form without going completely insane or shooting me when I asked dumb questions. Truly a saint among us feeble mortals for that reason alone. (See? I went a whole post without using an ellipsis!)

So, welcome friends! Take a good look around, explore the links on your right, and leave a message if you like.
