I remember how blown away I was when the event I wrote about actually happened. The dream was of myself, sitting in a movie theatre among others, watching this incredible story play out. It was such a profound encounter that I remembered it all the next day. Many of the details took a long time to research. Once it was finished I struggled with whether to publish it or not. There are a number of social issues in it that many people seem to find very uncomfortable. I believe that it is partly because they don't know how to solve them.Originally I majored in filmmaking. I have been doing under the radar promotional and advertising work since 2001. Once I decided to publish Blue, I spent a lot of time learning how to become a published author. I never really thought my writing was any good. My teachers thought it to be dark and disturbing, as did my family. I didn’t try to pursue any real kind of art career till I was in my 20’s.In my novel, Maddie the tormented mermaid is trying to save the world from war. When it came time to make an author website, I wanted it to be something that was meaningful to me. The author's website is supposed to reflect the author, and their publishing after all. I wanted my site to be fun, therapeutic, and welcoming to all walks of life. I also want it to stand for something, to act as a tool or reference in helping society somehow. While designing my site, I decided to dedicate it to someone who truly inspired it. I once told her in honor of our fight for a better humanity, that I was going to make a blog called How to Save the World. Little did I realize it would become so much more than that.ver menos
