I Had A Dream

I know it sounds a little cliche, but a dream was a part of the combination of events that started the creation of Mermentau. I had always wanted to write a fantasy book. Something about a place unheard of with creatures unseen always excited me. I had a fantastic dream about one of these places and that day I told my wife I was going to write a book. So I started it...and I couldn't stop.

Just a few weeks ago I went through it for the third time making sure that it was as clean and complete as possible. I feel that it is pretty close. Now it is time to see what the literary world thinks of it. Getting a book published is a journey, there are no short cuts (unless someone reading this is a publisher or literary agent). Another writer Rebecca Martin, inspired me to start to document this journey. Your time would be well spent visiting her site and learning about her book http://rebeccalmartin.blogspot.com.

To be honest, living inside my head can be exhausting. Some days my brain will never stop. So it has been a calming experience to place the commotion onto paper and to give it life.
