I love adventure and stories of adventure. I grew up on tales of King Arthur, King David, Hercules, Audie Murphy and other heroes. In regards to heroic deeds and tales of those who dare to take up the mantle of hero and walk that lonely path, I have never grown weary of hearing such tales. So much so that I now wish to put heroic deeds in writing myself. It is an homage of sorts. I loved Beowulf in school when others disdained that epic read. Homer's Illiad and Odyssey is another great read. I spend days enthralled by The Scarlet Pimpernel. The list can go on and on.

The world needs heroes. We need to see the heights to which we can attain and a hero gives us that.
