Getting Started

I’ve been an avid reader my whole life.

Regardless of an extremely active and busy lifestyle running a company, raising a child, engaging in hardcore mountain biking, skiing and climbing, I’ve always made time at the end of the day to enjoy reading.

And not business books, but novels – fiction.

My type A friends and associates don’t get it. They think reading fiction is for women and a waste of time.

Screw them, they don’t know what they’re missing.

I enjoy most types of fiction but am particularly fond of psychological thrillers.

So, one evening I’m reading and a thought comes to me; I wonder if I could write a novel?

Of course, I can write – I do it all the time in business, but could I write an engaging story?

With no intention on publishing I decided to try it.

Given my busy schedule I simply dedicated the half hour or so every night that I read and instead wrote.

A few months later I had written a psychological thriller; Wretched.

I liked what I had written so I decided to have it published – whether anyone else will like it remains to be seen.

More importantly though, I found I really enjoyed writing and in fact have already started a sequel to Wretched.

So, if you like it, there will be more, much more, because I really enjoy writing.
