It's not such a big step from pictures to writing.
And that's how it started out for me. I've illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.
A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.
As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.
Having such a visual background, mostly it's a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that's why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a 'Western movie, fast paced and full of action.'
I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
It is the near future and Armageddon has happened.
Sergeant Vincent Evimann, a decorated ex-serviceman with the elite First Infil Battalion, returns home to Port Coliseum to find it no better than the rest of the world. The Dust Engagements and the Great Oil War have taken their toll and created a wasteland. There is nothing here remaining for him except news of a family he had thought lost and Evimann sets off on a quest across the ruined country to discover the truth. His journey leads him to find both the bizarrely dangerous and the more noble remnants of a crumbling society. He may even discover love.
Meanwhile, the remnants of government and military try to understand the disturbing events caused by an unknown foe that are being reported across the land. As they struggle with these new dangers, in the depths of the capital's Wound Laboratories a driven surgeon is creating a unique and powerful entity the authorities think will bring a semblance of order back to the shattered world. Once set on a mission it will not stop and nothing will stand in its way until successful.
In Book One of the epic Hold a Candle to the Sun, both protagonists are set on an inevitable trajectory that is bound to end in collision.
