A Journey begins…
Fiction writers create new worlds and breathe life into characters and creatures, limited only by their imaginations. Inspiration comes from dark corners of everyday life to magnificent vistas of the natural world, from commonplace objects that bring comfort to masterpieces that lift our souls.
‘This world is but a canvas to our imagination.’
Henry David Thoreau
