How "The President Was A Good Man" came about.

This fiction novel came after I finished my first book “Anything for Acceptance – One’s Man Journey From Bondage To Wholeness”. Which is a book about my story of finding freedom from self loathing. I realized that I loved writing “Anything for Acceptance” and felt like I had more within me.

After six years of thinking and toying with the idea of another book I sat down one day and began to write the first thing that came to my mind. It was odd, but the idea of a murder mystery thriller with a Christian twist came to mind. It just flowed out of me for about six chapters and then stopped.

I let the book, which by now had the title “The President Was A Good Man”, sit for another two years until one day I had the impression that I must finish it. Again, it flowed and I finished it in November of 2008.

Now, after writing two books I find that I have three others in me. Two books will be fictional in nature. One is a sequel to “The President Was A Good Man”, the other has an accurate historical bent to it, and the other is the factual account of our son-in-laws life and death as a soldier in Iraq.

Writing is fun, it challenges my right brain and gives vent to the artist within me.

 If you think you have a “book” within you, sit down and release it through your fingers.
