About my writing
Writing is a labor of love. I’m sure you’ve heard that before and will likely hear it again. I write because I love it. Imagination can take you places you never dreamed of, or maybe you did but couldn’t remember. Since I was a little boy, I always had a powerful imagination, much to my mother’s annoyance. I’m certain it still annoys her. I’m not perfect, but I strive to make my writing as close to perfect as possible.
I wish to tell a story which climbs the emotional alps and sends you on a wild sled ride down into the depths of tragedy. I want to show ultimate beauty struggling like a moth in the grip of desperate darkness. I want to reveal the human soul and touch it as well.
There is beauty in the world and it will overcome darkness. There is truth to defeat every lie. There is good which eclipses all evil. This I believe and this I wish to reveal in my writing. Travel with me on my journey through the worlds of my imagination.

Audrey Niffenegger
If you thought Audrey Niffenegger's first book The Time Traveler's Wife was good, you have to get her latest novel, Her Fearful Symmetry. It is a ghost story set in and around the historical Highgate Cemetery in London. While it is different in most ways from her earlier novel, it is fantastic and satisfying to read. You can find it on Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble. There's a good reason her first book is a number one best seller for the second week of October 2009 NY Times Paperback bestseller list.
