My Story
We each have our own monsters. Whether they’re with us from childhood, or they find us later in life, eventually the monsters come for us all.
I knew there were monsters from an early age, and I knew that there were people who fought them. I knew there were heroes, and I looked for them wherever I could find them. And soon, I wanted to make my own. I first wrote what could charitably be called a “book” when I was a young child, hand-written in pencil. I made the cover out of cardstock, punched holes in the pages, and bound it all together with wool string. It wasn’t very good.
Stories are where I learned my most important lessons. How to be a good person; to stand up to bullies; to speak out when something was wrong; when to fight and when to walk away; to have hope even during the worst of times. Most importantly, stories showed me that monsters can be beaten. There’s a power in storytelling that borders on the magical, the divine, and the infernal.
It doesn’t matter what monsters found you. What matters is how you choose to face them. You’ll get knocked down, of course, because that’s how life goes. But you can stand back up again. You can find the hero inside yourself.
So sit back, and let me tell you a story….
