Sam B. Miller II
I have read countless paperback books in the Science Fiction, Adventure and Paranormal genres. I always found myself thinking I could have made a story a little different and maybe more exciting or plausible. The scientific views and technological devices had to have a realistic background. The story had to be believable. The story had to begin with a real event. With a real threat, I wanted a story that would span many years with actual historical events to bring the reader to the present. I hope I accomplished my goal.

I have very slight epicanthic folds which to me indicate I have Asian heritage; however, my parents always told me they were solid Irish-German descent. I have a growing feeling my true ancestry is steeped in Tibetan genetics because my dreams indicate I'm a reincarnated warrior from around 200 BC.

I have to get away from the work and do something else having nothing to do with writing. Even mowing the lawn or trimming my roses.

I wanted to use actual things or events that have happened in the past and build a story around those events as if the events were part of my story. The events had to be significant and have an effect on millions of people. I wanted my readers to be able to associate the story in my book with events they actually endured.

It is virtually impossible to edit your own work. Your brain will read your written words just like you thought you typed those words. You will pass right over errors because your brain knows what you meant. Your brain won’t see all your errors because it’s not a disinterested witness.
