Despite it sounding like a very typical author-like thing to say, for as long as I can remember I've been coming up with stories to entertain myself. Somewhere along the line came the vague concept that other people may just be interested in what I was coming up with too. This is yet to be verified but I'm getting further down that road all the time. Regardless, the urge to think up stories and write them down refuses to go away. They come into my mind and need to come out somehow.
The kind of books I have always loved (and in turn have shaped my writing) are works of science fiction and fantasy. Perhaps there is an escapist part of me, tempered by my interest in gritty, dystopian fiction. A lot of the ideas for my writing are triggered by hearing about future developments in technology and Futurism as a whole, imagining the impact on society and the individual.
Generally speaking, I like to write about ordinary people in extraordinary situations to see how they react. This may be subject to change however, especially as I have a nebulous idea of coming up with a multi part epic fantasy/sci-fi mash up at some point in the future. This of course will then be optioned and turned into a massive grossing film franchise with its own action figures and lunch boxes, making me a very wealthy man. Until then though...
