02/05/17 = When Fantasy Helps With Reality…

One of the things I’ve learned in my almost 45 years in this world is that sometimes your mind needs to be relieved from the stress of life in order to get you through the mess of it. One of the main purposes of Fantasy or Science Fiction is to see situations in different settings that can translate into your reality in a contrasting way to help you see things more clearly in your own life. As a Christian, reading the Bible helps with spiritual problems and even worldly ones, but some think any fiction is evil. When it comes to some of the stories I’ve read over the years, I’d have to agree it can be, but only for those that have no redeeming value. That’s my main point – stories that have that redeeming value can be used for the positive effects for the readers! Although I choose to write this series with a background of my Christian faith behind it, I’ve also tried to not have it be demeaning or preachy. There are a few hard places in this story that some may see as one of those things, but I’d like to remind the readers that this story is in differing character POV’s (Points Of View). These are to show the mindset of a character in that scene. For the last 30 years of my life, I’ve read some of the best Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Romances that helped to shape my own writing. Whether 1, 2, or many POV’s like often used in Fantasy, for me the differing POV’s seem to give more depth to the story and character progressions. I’m hoping that some of you who have read either the website Sample of the Book, the E-Book, or the Paperback itself will now take the time to give a review for it on Amazon that is honest but not nasty or overly flattering either. I know that I’m not a perfect writer and may not even be liked by many. I also know that if you’re one of those I wrote this Novel for then you will not only like it, you will LOVE one or more character and the story that can lighten your load on Earth. THANK YOU & HAPPY READING! ~ TCK ~
