Statement of Aesthetics [excerpts]
I do not feel that I have led an extraordinary life, but rather that I have had the great fortune to have met extraordinary people. It is from these recollections that I have crafted this manuscript.
All of the characters are amalgams. All of the emotions are mine. There is more than one voice, as I believe that we are all more than one person: who we are, who we were, and who we aspire to be. Each of these young people want to be more than they have been led to believe they were....

Identifier: b4175553
Introduction [excerpts]
My manuscript consists of two stories discussing the every day, domestic dramas of life. They are based in a realistic aesthetic. I wanted to highlight situations that occur in many people's lives by showcasing how two specific couples deal with them. In "Apple Pie," I wrote from a male, first-person perspective about a couple about to have a child. It was a constant revision. I ended up working and reworking the entire thing multiple times, because, I think, the concept of...

Identifier: b5596303
Introduction [excerpt]
A few years ago, I was on the active prowl for a new author to read.
