I have long wanted to be a writer, but it wasn’t until I began my self-education that I realized the kind of writer I wanted to be. Three years ago, I began a rigorous study of classic literature, including Hermann Hesse, Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, as well as Dostoevsky, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Flaubert, Camus, Steinbeck, Joyce, among many others, not to mention countless poets. I have also studied the philosophers who inspired the themes and topics about which these authors wrote. |
Literary Fiction, Historical Fiction. I enjoy the research necessary in writing a good historical fiction piece. |
I consider character development as the primary key to good writing. |
It was the classic Hessean bildungsroman theme that inspired my coming of age novel, Restless Heart. |
