Author bio:
I don't think saying 'I'm a writer' is enough to describe what I actually do. I like to entertain, and I use writing as a medium to do that. That then makes me a (and yeah, I obviously use a keyboard),... a... what's a good word? How about, a Pen-tertainer? I'm a Pentertainer ... I live in Coventry, England, but am originally from the North West of the country. I've been in Coventry for 21 years, and the hardest part was learning how to use a knife and fork and other domestic things after spending so much time up there in the frozen wastelands tearing chunks of meat off the kill after roasting it on a fire. Mind you, I'm not entirely re trained to life in the City, as quite a few people I've met down here do still talk in grunts; I'm one of the few who can understand them, and so, I work part time in the DSS claims office. (not true, but wouldn't that be so cool if it was). I myself got told off years ago by a stern faced lady in the claims office. I was on the Jobseekers/New Start course (Course? LOL), and I told my claims officer that I enjoyed going down there ... "Mr Lassut! You aren't supposed to enjoy it!" ... Her T shirt should have given it away before I opened my mouth. It read: 'I hate what I'm told to hate ... that means YOU' Last time I saw her she was in the fancy dress shop near Argos, buying a Gadaffi costume with mask. I thought she was going to a fancy dress do, but now look! ... I think she was investigating international claimant's Nat Insurance numbers, but got a little carried away. Bless her cotton socks.
Melodie's Secret Book of the Fey, Charms and Spells by Cuger Brant Melodie's Secret Book of the Fey, Charms and Spells by Cuger Brant Jan. 15, 2011 $1.99 18776 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
CUGER BRANT was born in London, England. He is an experienced environmentalist and has been working in this field for the last 20 years. He and his family currently reside in the southern counties of England. I attended the old Lambeth Workhouse institution from the age of six years when it was known as (Woodvale Children’s Home). Later, my brothers and i were later sent to ‘Beechholme’ in Banstead, Surrey. It was a Village type children’s home with its own Church, School, and Infirmary. The houses were spaced along an avenue of trees, each named after a tree or bush. Each house had its ‘House Parents’ who were responsible for approximately 14 children of both sexes. It was here that I was taught the basic survival skills such as cooking, sowing, cleaning and, with kindness and regular exercise, had a healthy outlook on life. This experience left me with a keen sense of fairness, justice and the consequence of people’s actions both good and bad, on others (and a good sense of humour) You needed it! Looking back, the one thing I have realised from my childhood years is that, love, patience and fair play are the building blocks of good character and moral values. I started my career as a dodo farmer. But after 30 years of returned job applications (which left me a bit bitter and twisted) I decided on a new path. Finally (due to my experience) I had the choice of being a dustman or an environmentalist. But as the former was taken, I took the latter. I soon found that everyone was totally disinterested, so I decided to write stories. Why ‘Art’ is always supposed to be perceived as images through the eye puzzles me. Art is giving the mind a concept; or a concept to the mind’s eye. I am an artist and my canvass is projecting concepts through the written word. As far as i am concerned; I am a philosophic psychologist with a twist of comedy. As far as you are concerned; I am either a madman or have a point. Well… is that not art? I write ‘WHAT IF?’ stories. I write them to stretch your imagination and your awareness. I hope they give you pleasure, food for thought and change your perception about you, your world, and your safe little place in it! My writing style and method may seem different to you. I have read (in numerous cases, tried to read) so many books, only to be sent to sleep or put off by over descriptive meandering that, when analysed, really has nothing to do with the story or the plot, rather just to do with the author’s imaginings of his literal, descriptive skills, even to do with ‘bulking’ a book out a bit. Both I and other avid readers I know personally tend to get very vexed with these ‘over-stretched books’ telling me nothing and just wasting my time. My philosophy is: if you give a man who can read music a Stradivarius, it doesn’t mean that you will get a good tune. But if that man has a seed of inspiration to explore and a need to express his inspiration through his music, then you have something worth listening to. Writing, to my mind, is always an opportunity to educate the reader. It is also for me, personally, an art of imagination, an opportunity for expression and concepts. My writing is not too ‘character’ driven, nor is it supposed to be. Its aim is to teach and educate a little, to make you aware of the natural dangers of our modern world. If you like my, rather abstract style and view of things then all the better. If you do not, go and bury your head again. I believe it is how the imagination and a few words are used to capture an idea, then to project that idea to a reader, to get an inquisitive mind working and in doing, stopping that inquisitive mind dismissing a concept, an idea, and putting down an unread book. If I have done just that, then I feel have created something! I sincerely hope if you read my books, they were not what you were expecting! Author Note: A word about my writing, facts and study material: Trust me when I say; I get all my facts right before I put pen to paper. It gives me the privilege to distort them as much as I please with a clear conscience. ************************ Books to date: RDD: What would you do if a Dirty Bomb went off in your town?
