People often have the idea of writing a book. For a great many it stays just an idea, a dream that they carry with them all their life. It becomes a little secret friend that they rely on for company when they need a break from reality. In their head they write one or two scenes, think up some snappy dialogue, create a few cool characters, maybe even imagine a book cover. But that’s it, they don’t actually ever get round to writing any of it down.

At the other extreme we have famous writers that seemingly can’t stop themselves from writing. They are incredibly prolific and sell millions of books. This success can be discouraging to first time or hobby writers. People can’t help asking the question ‘How can I compete with that?’

The point is, you don’t have to. Nobody starts a writing career with 20 best sellers to their name. Everybody starts with just one book, the very first one they ever write. This is what the storytelling section is all about. Writing that first book, starting the journey. I want to both encourage and support writers to get that first story on paper. There will be new and original work from a few brave contributors alongside classical works from great names. We will also have a tips, tricks and lessons learnt section so others can benefit from our experience. I hope this all will provide enough inspiration and support to get even the most reluctant dreamers to take that first biggest step and pick up a pen.

Check out the storytelling project area. Along with short excerpts from each writing project featured, I shall be blogging about the background and motivation for each of my books and maybe even offering the occasional author profile or interview. If all this has got your mouth watering for more, don’t forget to subscribe to my newsletter. Not only will you get all the latest gossip and an advanced look at new content before I post it, but I shall ALSO send you the COMPLETE first book I ever published in my Chaoticum series absolutely FREE with no strings attached. I hope it will not only entertain you but also inspire you to do even better than I have!
