This saga and my family saved me. At only thirty-two I suffered a brain bleed and like some of my characters found myself wounded and helpless. I clawed my way up from the bottom, not without many helping hands, and decided that I would realize my life’s dream. Despite my physical handicap my story sprang to life. It was a painstaking process at first, but the more I wrote (with the help of voice recognition software) the easier it was to express my ideas. My grammar and prose may not be perfect, like my main chracter, Aticus, and myself, but its driven by fate on a road to endless possibilities.
