I have a passion for writing. While I harboured this passion for many years, it wasn't until recently that I finally let my passions overtake me. As a result, I have now written a novel (a trilogy, in fact), and several E-books.
To be honest, I find it hard to believe that my idea for the novel has been brewing within me for the past 15 years. It wasn't until I finished my Ph.D. (my thesis was on Academic Procrastination, of all things) that I finally got the bug for writing -- and thank God for the bug!
Note: Yes, that's me above -- I was featured recently in the Whittlesea Leader newspaper. Click the picture to be taken to a scan of the full story. Now back to your regular presentation.
'Stay' is a trilogy -- the first title of which has been published, and the second is currently being edited. The trilogy covers an odd topic -- mind travel -- check out the first book, "Stay -- The search begins," and you can order a copy of the book through a link at this page.
Book two, "Stay -- All is not what it seems," continues the traveller's cause, culminating in disaster for the main character, Frank Melton. More information will become available as the book nears completion.
Book three is still being fine-tuned, and promises to provide readers with thrilling twists and turns. A page will be added closer to publication.
What about the E-books?
Well, on a serious note, I recently underwent surgery for cancer of the prostate. While my prostate was removed at that time, the cancer returned, and I had to have radiation and hormone therapy. It was quite a ride.
Now, I know a lot of men don't like to talk about their health, let alone the state of
their prostate, so I wrote an E-book about my experiences in the hope that men would feel encouraged to undergo testing for this insidious disease. You can read about this E-book, "Dreaded Men's Disease Explained," which is also available for purchase. I plan to donate 80% of profits to "Kid's with Cancer," and use the remaining 20% to continue my pursuits, and update the E-book with reader contributions.
Finally, I've compiled an E-book to help motivate students to study. A companion E-book will also be available, consisting of quotes and stories that I have found over the years that may also prompt students into action. You can read more here, but the E-books themselves are still coming.
A blog as well?
Yes, my son has encouraged me to move into the world of web 2.0, and allow me another place to channel my passion. It's going to take me some time to get into it, I think, as it's more complicated than it seems, but it's going to be a welcome experience. Please come along for the ride, and feel free to leave comments. My blog can be accessed here.
Thank you!
Again, thank you and welcome. Bear with us while we undergo our growing pains, and please feel free to comment as you see fit.
