I write about almost anything that attracts my interest. I guess my main genre is fantasy. I always like to have a bit of magic in any story that I write, after all, life itself is magic.

As to my aspirations as a writer, no need to be bashful about that! First and foremost I want to master the art of writing. I compare writing to playing a musical instrument. First I learn the notes, making all the mistakes listed in my book of amateurs. Next comes competency, that level where the notes are mastered and I am able to play any song I choose. Finally comes that magic place where I will be able to stop emulating what others have done and step out into the world of pure creation, like a jazz musician improvising on a love song. I want as many novels published as I can possibly write. I would like at least one of them to be made into a movie. I think it would be fascinating to see my characters come alive on the screen. Last but not least, I want my works to give readers the pleasure of escaping to another place and time, a place where magic really does exist.





Gene Alvin:  Hmm, let's see, why do I write? I guess that, when I think about it, writing is a lot like being an adventurer on steroids. I get to not only create worlds, towns, cities and whole countries, but I also get to create people. One of the best payoffs I find in writing is my characters. I start with a vague idea of who they are, feebly attempt to give them an identity and put clothes on them, then make them do what I want. Somewhere along the path to creating them, when I get really lucky, they take on a life of their own. To me, that's when the joy of writing really starts. They take the lead and I just follow along to see where their footsteps lead.
