I find myself inexplicitly drawn to exploring spirituality and the supernatural in my writing. I suppose it’s quite natural for a human being to express puzzlement, inquisitiveness, and wonderment at those aspects of life that stretch our understanding. I’ve personally seen the fleeting glimpse of an angel and witnessed the resolution of events that can only be described as miraculous. I’ve stared into the darkness of night and felt something was lurking just beyond sight. Could the night shroud a lonely vampire? Many times, I’ve turned to my wife and answered a question she had thought but not annunciated. My wife and I have both seen and heard ghosts prowling our home, and I swear my neurotic Havana Brown, Nibs, plays with my deceased Russian Blue, Pushkn. Truly, spirituality and the supernatural offer poignant canvasses of imagination—glimpses of what might be just beyond the limits of our physical senses. This is but one of the springs from which I sip to project novels like Perdition’s Brink and my newest novel due out in the Summer 2009.

Supernatural. Spirituality. And the deeper meanings of life. When you write with this in mind, you add dimension to your story.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably why I don't like the tinkly sounds of teenage boy bands, Shania Twain, or Brittany Spears. They lack dimension.
And I think that's why I am going to hate reading Twilight but I loved Harry Potter. It's why I enjoy longer works of art (continuous plot line TV shows like Heroes, Farscape, and Alias) over shorter stuff (movies).
So nice comments. I'll keep reading.
