It may be difficult to tell, but I was not raised by Saturday morning cartoons. That doesn’t mean I didn’t watch them religiously. Heroes of all shapes and sizes, fighting evil with: conning, violence, technology, magic, and even friendship and love, what more could a kid want?

So many of these characters have helped shape who I am and how I and what I write. The truth is I’m a big kid. I used to worry about what I was going to be when I grew up, but now I just want to stay a kid. There is so much creativity, potential, and purity in youth, but I have no need for physical adolescence. I want to remain young at heart. I want to have and believe in love, magic, and hope. Needless to say, but I will anyway, a sense of hope abounds in the Eternal Curse Series.

Even villains were kids once, though most people, by now, know that Darth Vadar was born Anakin Skywalker. I like this image because, aside from being cute, there’s a sense of hope in it. Obviously, something went wrong along the way, but there’s always a story, told or untold, that explains it all.

Anyone could be a villain; people don’t set out to be bad or do bad things, but circumstance can sometimes change faster that we are able to process and deal with them. In the Eternal Curse Series, there is always a reason why someone is either good or bad, but sometimes it is not so clear as to whether someone is good or bad. Sometimes, heroes are seen as villains and villains are seen as heroes, at least in all the really good stories, the truth eventually comes out and all is explained, even if it’s not all better. I cling to this idea as I continue to write my EC series…it truly doesn’t take a genius to see where and how I’ve been influenced by this story and others, if you just read between the lines of my book.

Something about the eternal sweetness and naiveté of the characters, setting, and stories of the Hundred Acre Woods always makes me smile. Why can’t life be this simple? Why can’t everyone have a friend like Pooh?

I can’t say that all my writing is a reflection of me, but a lot of it is. Sometimes, without even knowing it, I write about things as I wish they were. In the Eternal Curse Series, and even unrelated works of mine, there is always of message of friendship and family.
