Why I wrote the book(s): That’s a hard one. Money? Fame? Retirement? To stop the voices in my head ? It’s hard to say… something inside pushes you and the only way it will leave you alone is to write it down. Your brain fills with dopamine and it becomes a relaxation practice, a mediation of sorts. You don’t get paid for it, no body reads your work and those that do are convinced your story would have been better if it were a 1940’s detective story instead of a 23rd century futuristic adventure. So it’s a good question… just a good way to repeatedly punish one’s self I think.
What you did to get them published: I did everything you are supposed to do to get published… as a result I have been rejected 211 times. I tried different stories, different publishers; I submitted to newspapers, to magazines, contest… anything to get read. At last I felt defeated and had begun to think I wasn’t good enough despite winning several contest. The person who originated the contest I won asked me to submit something else… for publication… I sent a short story with an “I don’t give a shit” attitude if they liked it or not. They published it and signed me up. I now have 4 publishers.
Interest: I like to garden, it feels good to have my fingers in the dirt and see things grow. I’m particularly fond of growing pumpkins, watermelons, garlic and Dahlias. I also do wood working to relax… very gratifying.

I did enjoy this introduction, Tegon. To stop the little voices– I like that. It’s even worse when the voices stop– for awhile. Great success to you.
