Action & Adventure Science Fiction BIOGRAPHY
I never really know what to write about myself. Facts and figures about an author seem odd to me. Okay, but I will try. First of all, I live alone and I have done so for several years. This is not because I am unfriendly or antisocial, half of my life has been spent entertaining people, but when my kids were young, my wife decided she needed to 'move on'. Fine. And so she did. I successfully managed to persuade the judge to allow me 50% visitation rights - which in Austria is not allowed legally mainly due to child support problems. Once having agreed to the mother becoming this, however, there was no obstacle anymore.
So, it all worked out wonderfully, only... after a year or two I decided to ask my kids what they thought about me getting a girlfriend - not a good question!
So. What else? Why do I write, or what inspires me? These are not really questions about me. I think the way I respond to things and life is not the same as how I used to. Each day I learn. I have good and bad habits, just like everyone. I have a lot of love inside me which makes me sad and frustrated at times - music, songs, books, and film can all move me to laughter or tears. I still have dreams, they are different then when I was young, and I know some of them are dying. It's sad to lose a dream this way, but I hope some of them will come true.
So.. I guess this is showing you that although I write, I am not special, I simply enjoy words and use them as best as I can. Maybe you will enjoy what I write and get back to me with it, and make me as happy as you were by simply telling me you enjoyed some particular part in one of my books.
If there is anything else you wish to know, please do ask. I have a chapter for chapter explanation in my blog the address is: blog.edward-holden.com
I do this because it's the kind of thing I would love know from some of my favorite authors.
I hope I am not alone in this. |
