Which Mountain Should I Climb?
Writing books has become my passion, my addiction. It is the mountain I want to climb, the marathon I want to run, and the woman I want to seduce. The unwritten words lie taunting in my mind; challenging, daring, promising.
But which book shall I write next? The sequel to 'Trouble With Girls' which is nominally titled 'Taming The Beast' and sees Billy deploy to Iraq with the Army Bitch, fall in love, struggle with chronic illness and eventually fulfil his perceived destiny?
Or a different genre of book, possibly a thriller called 'Phoenix Rising' which illustrates the resurgence of Republicanism in Northern Ireland and the British security services' attempts to thwart the return to violence? This story has global context as the Republicans seek support in the States and from their old allies the Libyans now that Gadaffi's restraint has gone. The protagonists seek to exploit the political divisions by resorting to increasingly extreme measures; bombs, assassinations and fratricide of innocent Catholics in an attempt to garner support from an apathetic Nationalist community.
But then again, I have a burning desire to write erotica; 'Towards the Madding Crowd'. Emma and Dan are newly weds, innocently developing their relationship, each unaware of the others' burning passion to explore multiplicity. They unwittingly, but instinctively, proceed along the path to group love, with Emma being the focus of fevered attention from a menagerie of willing men. She is intoxicated by the adventure, the sense of being desired, but she is equally uneasy about Dan's willingness to share her with so many men. Will the move to the madding crowd strengthen or break their intense love for each other?
