The story-telling all started when I wrote a paragraph or two one day somewhere in the early to mid 1990’s, and on the following Saturday morning over coffee with my girlfriend, I went on to recount a few hours of a story that went far beyond the original few starting paragraphs, and for the next while, telling stories became a Saturday morning and afternoon coffee habit.

I have a memory where I can recount large tracts of narration time and again, like remembering a long ballad. My memory is not much good for anything else though, and is beyond appalling in every other respect. I didn’t write much down in the beginning, but when I did, with not following a writing related career path, I never took the next step of considering I might become a writer or taking the idea of writing, seriously at all, and for about the next twenty years, the stories remained a fun, hobby pastime.

I left my job in November 2018 to make an attempt to step upon the writers path, and by this time I had about 2 million words jotted down into more than 40 stories divided almost evenly between novellas and novels, and I spent the next four years using the first 2 novellas and the first 3 novels of the Earth Series, another novel I won’t be publishing for a while, and the 4 Amorphous Entity novellas as test dummies, about 700,000 words in total, to develop a commercially acceptable writing style.

In November 2022, the first works were published.

I am now working through the rest of my archived work and I will publish over the next few years after editing and proofing is finished, along with any new stories as they are written.
