The story behind Eden
It is just writers or people in general who have fantasies? Not the sexual fetishes type of fantasies but daydreams where you're a person with magical powers or a person who is up against adversity and has a struggle to survive. Or maybe you're not that person at all. You're a 'viewer' of your fantasy and dreaming of a mythical person/creature... or this person is an alien...
Yup, that's Fly, my 'dream man' from Eden and Hunted.
He's been with me for years and years and to begin with he wasn't an alien (I know, palpitations!) but a horse! A horse who could change into a human, a horse who was untrainable and was about to be put down.
Look, I was nine years old!
But there is Fly's humble beginning.
I moved into my teens and my daydreaming became more defined and I asked myself how did Fly turn himself into a human. That's where the alien idea began to blossom, and instead of just daydreaming about him I began to write.
His first story is all hand-written in notebooks (still got them somewhere) and he wasn't even the main star of the show. I made him pretty much the baddy of the book--someone like the Incredible Hulk who was big, dangerous and misunderstood... although he wasn't green. And yes, I loved the early episodes of the Incredible Hulk. The movie killed it, but I digress.
It's funny because as I look back, Fly was always older than me, but now, as I reach a grand old age of forty (can't spell fifty), he's suddenly younger than me. I've out aged my dream man!
But Fly will always be there for me.
My first love.
Eden and Hunted are available in all digital bookstores and now as paperbacks.
Happy reading!
