'Just write about what you know.......'

All the experts say 'just write about what you know' and to a great extent I hold with that maxim, which for me means I can write what I like about any subject with just a little research and my own common sense and opinions. I am not saying it is always the absolute truth of the matter but who can know that anyway. We are all subjective beings. With 'Coming To' and the subsequent novels 'Himself' and 'In Time' I have used and will use, more than a little of what I know. This based on experience format is seemingly why so many people love the work and comment so intensely.

'Upon reading chapter two, the verbal blows and abuse from Jasper, made me feel like I was being slapped, what a vicious little man, I am glad Jim walked out.'

The words have a profound effect on people as do the images carefully created by Vladimir Okřina to evoke the emotions of the main character.

'The picture on page 9 is so powerfully beautiful. It looks like someone breaking away his invisible chains.'

To have such great feedback is immensely moving for me given that this work has a semi-autobiographical slant to it and was 3 years in the making.

'This is an awesome read'
