I think that my loyal readers deserve to know that I am a Christian, a full-fledged, without shame Christian.  Some detractors may say on that note, “If you’re a Christian, then how can you write that smutty trashy fiction?”  Well, I will tell them and you why those two things are not mutually exclusive.

I write human stories.  They are full of filth because it is a reflection of the real world.  We need to be enlightened enough to see the filth around us so we can transform it.  That is why I write what I write. 

Many of you know that I have been through some tough times in prisons and mental health hospitals.  I identify as having a mental health condition.  Thus, because of those tough times, I was gifted a more enlightened mindset, awakening to the suffering and filth around me.  My reaction to that is in the writing as I try to transform past traumas into something positive.  The stories that I write are embellishments of those tough times so I can put them into a healthy context getting them out of my head and onto paper so I can examine them like a mortician examines a cadaver.  It is the same principle.

Of course, now that I am saved in Christ, it may seem like just filth; however, I assure you some of that filth is teaching some valuable lessons; and even if it isn’t, it is still doing a job to see that your own life, dear reader, is not so filthy after all.  Put it in that context and I am sure you will find some worth within the filth, even if it is just to go on an entertaining adventure into another universe. 

Writing transforms and transports and we have a very human obligation to find the positive and the meaning in the nuance.

Thanks for helping me along my own journey and creating worth for my bad memories and dreams.  I appreciate it and I hope you enjoy the ride.
