Storm Book 1, All the Dancing Horses

Being an avid reader all my life, I first discovered the joy of books at a very young age. Books such as the Black Stallion and Treasure Island gave me an insatiable urge to read that has lasted a lifetime and carried over to writing. Fiction lets us, if only for a short time, leave the problems of everyday life behind us and travel to mystical places if we so choose. Being an avid reader, I know what I like in a book and have tried to incorporate those likes in my own writing. Being my own worst critic, I can honestly say that I like my attempt at fiction. I LIKE novels without a maelstrom of technical terms that leaves a reader with one hand wrapped around a novel and the other around a dictionary. I LIKE fiction written in terms I can easily understand and in an "everyday" language I can relate to. Heaven help me, I LIKE a book with short chapters, especially at midnight when I know I should be getting some sleep but don't want to stop until there is a break in the story. Finally, and maybemost importantly, I LIKE it when the good guys win. In real life, chances of that happening are 50% at best. For just a short period of time out of each day, readers of this work can look forward to that mythical 100%.Host, Jim is the author of 'Storm Book 1, All the Dancing Horses', published 2004 under ISBN 9781418435783 and ISBN 1418435783.
