Welcome to my page. Please feel free to explore around. I welcome all visitors to my site. I would be more than happy to share some of my writing experiences with you.
I am both an avid story teller and an aspiring Indie writer. I enjoy being creative and sharing many of my life’s experiences with others. Working on multiple manuscripts for many years, I have finally been able to channel these creative energies into this first publication in February of 2024. Most importantly, I am happy to be able to begin the journey of sharing these stories with others.
This tale is an unlikely story about a king and an ogre, who by the forces of nature become lifelong friends. Together they care for the nearby villagers in their charge. Every year the king generously invites these townspeople to a harvest celebration, and every year they are interrupted by a group of silly dragons who live in the mountains nearby, until one day the king and the ogre come up with a plan to bring those antics to an end.
On a warm summer day back in 2023, my dear friend Lisa and I were travelling through the lovely little city of Port Colborne on route to the local marina. In order to get to our final destination, I at one point remarked that we had to first go around the bend, and over the bridge and through the town to get there.
We thought to ourselves almost simultaneously that this mere handful of lovely words would be an interesting and creative beginning to some sort of children’s story. And as we sat at the water’s edge that day, the roots of this happy little adventure quickly came into being.
And so it all began … the unlikely tale of a kindly king, an ogre, and a mix of silly dragons.
Themes of caring for others, accepting others, and being kind run throughout this beautiful tale. King Liam and his friend Arlo lead by example in these generous traits.
