    <about><![CDATA[I write fantasy adventure books and mysteries as well as screenplays. My four published books are:<br/>&lt;a href=&quot;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/LEo1H">Henri and the Alien</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/13CsQR">Mihte's Quest: Kids in the Underworld</a> and &lt;a href=&quot;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/2bcd4D">Children from the Sea</a>. I have also published a preview novel called &quot;Mihte's Challenge: Can Jack defeat the Dread Lord of Annihilation&quot; privately.<br/><br/>I hope to soon publish the first of my  spy novels: &quot;Jo Badpenny&quot; and &quot;Jo Badpenny at School&quot;. It describes how timid bullied boy who calls himself Jo gets into spying, meets his accomplices and toughens up. The third unwritten book will be his first proper spy novel. <br/><br/>I am currently editing &quot;Mihte's Return: Arthur Unmasked&quot;. I have a plans to produce further books in this series describing a modern version of the life of Light.  ]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[I am none of these things. I watch a lot of film but most bores me - the scriptwriters are not original enough for me. If I ever read books it would be non-fiction - understanding and making sense of the world. I am certainly not an actor although I am a member of a theatre company. <br/><br/>I would say that my writing comes from within the pain within me. Stories are like dreaming, but that is not enough for a good novel. Stories are about the journey of the hero. They have to have learnt something or have changed their circumstances. A great novel deals with some wrong in the world and how the hero overcomes it. It is strange one becomes attached to the character and places them in new stories where they overcome new adversaries. I suppose this only applies to teen and adult fiction. <br/><br/>I ask myself why I do not read fiction. I may suggest that I am original enough not to borrow ideas from others. Alternatively we all dream for a substantial part of our lives and we are all practised storytellers. As I mentioned before past suffering is the springboard for most creativity. Like Billy Liar we live out our hoped for lives through our writing, viewing and reading. Despite heroes having awful live we would like to be the hero in our own lives and come out on top like most heroes. <br/><br/>You experiences may be different.<br/><br/>LOOKMAN<br/>Author, Screenwriter, Producer. <br/>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[Because I am always writing books, screenplays, animations and trying to become an angel. I almost never find time to read books. If I do, I start technical books about writing film making et cetera and just dip into them. I seem to be on lots of networks like goodreads, but do not find them rewarding in terms of my work. ]]></body>
