Writing - Stories change thinking
When I write a story the aim is to entertain but like many perceptions it is the perceiver that responds to what has been written, not the writer.

You’ve never read a book like The Reason I Jump. Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, it is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within.
Mitchell tells us that he has totally changed the way he thinks of his son as a result of reading this book.
In fact when we write we express our thoughts in the way we create our stories which may well resonate with our readers in ways we don't expect.On the other hand you may produce a story that is intended to have such an effect but you still have no control over how it will be received.
Steele has to travel back to Japan to justify recent behaviours that may have revealed his connection with the Gurentai. He is given a task to complete that finds him on the ill-fated Flight MH370 in Kuala Lumpur. Hours later he awakens in a cell in a place and country of which he has no knowledge.
Being the resourceful man he is, Steele manages to escape and travels north meeting up with his fiancée Naomi Kobayashi in Astana the capital of Kazakhstan. Steele is naturally curious about the fate of the other 238 passengers from the plane which drives him onward to investigate further. He discovers that there are links between Russian organised crime and a Muslim group which stirs fears in his mind regarding the fate of MH370. This causes him to go to the Venice of the North, St Petersburg, where he finds the leader of the Russian mafia and a link with the Muslim pilots of the plane. All does not go well however, and Steele and Kobayashi are captured by their mafia enemy and incarcerated in MH370 on the way to the target that Steele suspected all along - in London.Can Steele extricate himself from this seemingly hopeless situation? Has Steele convinced the Gurentai that he is trustworthy enough to deserve their support?Will Steele manage to deflect the missile in which he is incarcerated from killing thousands in London?This story is a speculative journey based upon the data and misinformation surrounding the loss of Malaysian Flight 370 in March 2014.
Flight into Secrecy
When I wrote this story my underlying aim was to shake the readers perception of our establishment in the West.
God Bless
