I am sorry how long Phoenix Rising is turning out but it should be just a few more chapters, honest. But it feels so good to finally get this out! For me it is a kind of exorcism, writing this story down so that it can at last find escape from my consciousness. To tell you the truth, this is the most intimate and personal story I have. It was my whole world really from when I was 13 years old until I was 31. I was very unhappy with my life and family as a teenager. I experienced much abuse and violence as a child and my sorrow and disappointment with this world around me spurred me on to create a new "reality" for myself. This was the result. Phoenix Rising is only the beginning. From so many years of daydreaming this story, I have books and books worth of material to write so much more will be coming!
