Yeah. So this blog. I guess it shouldn’t be very hard, since my writing goal is 10 pages a day. Scribbling a few paragraphs every now and then for this blog should be a walk in the park, right? Right?
Well, maybe not so simple. SPOILER ALERT: As a person, I’m kind of an introvert. It’s almost a prerequisite for being a writer. The worlds I create on the page are solitary ones. The ideas, characters, situations and details all come from my messed up brain and it is a place that I alone inhabit. It has to be that way. So letting you into that world, even for little bits at a time is not going to be easy. But maybe, if you can peek inside my mind, maybe you’ll gain more appreciation for my characters. Will that work? I have no idea. But let’s give it a try…
I’m Jan (pronounced “YON” most of the time) and like Jan Michael Vincent (Google him), I’m a guy with kind of a girl’s first name. I’m not going to get into that now, or ever, so let’s just leave it at that. IRL, I’m a professional photographer in the Washington D. C. area and my debut novel, DAMAGED HEARTS, was released late this year (2019). I’m steadily at work on two more novels that will both add to the Boys of Venice Beach Series. I know that there will be at least 3 books in the series, and maybe more if people like it. I have lots of other ideas, but this Series is as good a place as any to start.
So this is my my first blog entry and I think I’ll sign off. I hope this is the first of many and I hope you will enjoy peeking inside my brain as we go along. Thanks for tuning in…
