My writing
style
Good fiction
must be rooted in reality. Therefore, much of what the novel, Called-Out Warriors, is based on has
either happened or is plausible. It is a story based loosely on and inspired by
the author’s real-life events and adventures. Names have been changed and a few
things have been altered in order to make the story more compelling.
So, should this be called fiction or
nonfiction? If this “wordologist” could coin a new genre, I might call it “Interstitial,”
meaning “in between.” Such as that part of the skin’s anatomy that secretes
sweat. In attempting to combine fiction and nonfiction I often find myself,
“sweating it out.” However there is
already a word some use for this type of writing—‘Faction’.
I have
worked at making sure the facts were correct, be it the life I or others have
lived, including the nuances of war, politics or religious and spiritual
encounters.
One of my reasons for
wanting to recapture certain events, whether in fiction or nonfiction, and
encourage you to do the same is because we can learn lessons from events in our
past we never took the time to. If we lose them, they will never be able to do
what they were intended to do—give us needed moments of reflection and possibly
joy.
There have been moments in
my life that have been responsible for setting it in various directions. It is
these moments I have chosen to remember in Called-Out
Warriors.
Bottom line:
even though the story line is formatted as fiction, in this author’s mind it's
all entirely plausible.
The
book will be made available soon as an E-Book.
