OK, so there are lots of published authors. Just like when I was skydiving there were lots of skydivers. Or when I finished my first Ironman distance triathlon, there were lots of Ironman distance triathletes. But I am the last person I ever thought would write a book.In elementary school I was diagnosed with dyslexia. Not too severe, but bad enough to jumble things around and make reading a serious chore. And spelling, forget about it. It took me well into my forties to accept that I would never be a good speller, and not be ashamed or so embarrassed because of it. It is what it is.I was never officially diagnosed with ADD, but I do seem to have a very difficult time staying on task for more than about fifteen minutes. My mind is always jumping to something else. And finally, I’m really good at starting projects, but not so good at finishing them.So why would I ever start writing a story that would require me to read my own work, spell so many words, expect myself to stay focused, follow through, and complete it? Especially when I have no idea what popular authors writing styles are like. I’ve only read one book in my life.Why did I start? Because I had a great idea for a story, and I’m blessed with a vivid imagination. I knew I could get help from family and friends with spelling and editing. So almost three years later, I’m a published author!I hope you enjoy my story.Sincerely,John Critz, Authorview less
