Free for Your Consideration

As I was growing up, I read a lot of Sci-Fi and adventure stories. I am certain my father was sorry he ever introduced me to some of it, but I learned writing techniques from master writers this way. Much of what I learned was by osmosis, I guess, but can be applied to writing novels, short stories, movies, etc. There are no regrets on my part.

Previously I have posted only portions of my writings on this and other sites. Now, for the first time, I have posted the entire Shining Armor series of three books at CTRstories.com. Along with this are several vignettes, an inspirational short story, a hymn and more to come. Why the change? Call it inspiration, a hunch,…whatever. What’s in it for you? You get to study the techniques I have learned, hopefully enjoy what you consider to be good writing and then ask me questions regarding it (via the email link on the right), if you like. I am also making available the chance to get coaching on a limited basis, but should you want more involved help (such as editing, proofing, ghostwriting, etc.), that might be arranged also.

You see, I love to write. This is my element and what I was meant to do. When you have an aptitude, use it in any way you can. If you do not, you will be miserable and frustrated all your life. Using your God-given talents will bring you joy and enrich not only your life, but the lives of others. So, with my compliments…enjoy my creations thus far. And when they are available to purchase in hard copy (soon, if all goes as planned), please support me to make more.
