AUTHOR
"Writing is its own reward"-Henry Miller
Writing should be done to share a story, transmit the emotions of a character, paint the twist and turns of the plot.
I consider myself more of a writer than an author as I do not write to be a professional at it.
I write because it has always been a part of me, to share my thoughts and stories.
Moreover, writing brings comfort in the same way that a good book brings solace.
And as a writer, it is troublesome NOT to write, the same way,
I believe you, readers, find it hard to put down something with a captivating story.
Recently, there was a shift.
Stories stopped needing beautiful words or length to convey their message.
The fancy, often snobby form of writing has fallen out of favor.
Lately, writing is at its best in its simplest form, storytelling.
It is now the readers that are defining what a literary piece is...
Not the author,
nor the
publisher,
nor the editor,
or the middle-man
We are now modeling stories after how films are made and it's turning out to be creative and effective for writers and well-digested by a larger audience.
Short novels with a 'Netflix experience' for the reader.
Works that invite nice, individual periods of reading relaxation whenever one needs it

VISION
"people with visions should
-Helmut Schmidt
go to the doctor"
Texts have no more high-brow value. Texts are everywhere.
They are temporary passing of thoughts, ideas, wishes and less personal narratives.
Every written word wants to be read, and every writer wants to have readers.
Writing is
and so should be reading.
Novels must be short and available for free.
A writer can make money by doing something else: driving a truck, selling ice cream, or selling their story idea, but not their words.
Words are just borrowed and put in order, never owned, words are everybody's.
As a writer my novels are free, but if you want to push me to be an author and make more out of my writing--- with a movie, a play or something bigger... let's talk!

Loops
Before The Emergency (as the Irish call World War II), a determined British military technician became an Irish citizen to work on an advanced submarine detection system to protect the British naval base on 'Doon Island' (Bere Island, West Cork). However, when the island came under Irish control, he lost support. Isolated but undeterred, he acquired valuable knowledge about German submarine movements. Regrettably, during The Emergency, his crucial information went unnoticed. In a climate of indifference, his noble mission to safeguard the realm's naval interests faced significant challenges, not least due to his new country's perceived stance on neutrality.
