About – Waking Anton

About the Author

I like to read…a lot.

Can’t say that I really care what genre, I read just about anything.

Although I do have a fondness for science fiction.

Mostly, I just really like a good story, with characters I can love and fun places to explore.

When I read, I want my stories to be fun, but also mean something – but mostly just be fun 😉

The stories I tell are just a few of the ones trapped in my mind, it’s hard to explain, but they float around in my head and pester me – they won’t leave me alone until they’re told.

Honestly, it’s rather rude of them – but since I love a good story it becomes a pleasure to bring them to life.

It’s rather fortunate that I enjoy them when they pop out and – if you please – grab a copy, sit back and give one of them a read.

If you dare to dive into one of these worlds, then I hope you enjoy it enough to dive into the rest.

See you in the funny papers!

God Bless and let it roll,
