Alien vs Predator, Cowboys vs Aliens, Pokey vs Gumby – you name it there is always some duel between conflicting forces, but none more serious than those in our subconscious.\u00a0 Inside of me are two conflicting characters.\u00a0 One is the logical and analytical, drab and uninteresting CPA whose sole existence is protecting the good of the public interest. Then there is the author, whose imagination\u00a0 was unleashed from the mortal prison of conformity to create or destroy.\u00a0 Oh the power!<\/p>\n

The CPA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 1998 I have fought a battle over the complexities of the mortal induced madness called “The Code.”\u00a0 Yes, that ridiculous collection of laws and regulations that bleed the unsuspecting turnip and even bloodless vampires every April 15th. Then there is the financial statement.\u00a0 Yes the one that not too many read or understand.\u00a0 The will buy a stock based on “coolness” factor rather than P\/E ratio. I can spout off tax code and financial standards till I am blue in the face and my client crashes on the floor from a boredom induced sleep. I see myself as Dr. Jekyll, but my clients see me as hideous Mr. Hyde.<\/p>\n

The Author<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have written stories, many still trapped in the dungeon of my mind, since 1976, but in 2011 I unleashed the product of a decade’s worth of plotting in my mythological quest with the trilogy – The Chosen One of Allivar<\/a>.\u00a0 Somewhere my other personality was dying to be set free and the words came easily, although not grammatically correct, which I blame on being a CPA.\u00a0 Hey,\u00a0 it’s a numbers thingy.\u00a0 For ten years the hideous Mr. Hyde went to work plotting massive battles and evil deeds, while Dr. Jekyll said concentrate on tax returns and books.\u00a0 I admit fully Mr. Hyde was winning within.\u00a0 I wanted to break free and join the ranks of the deviously creative.<\/p>\n

So what stands in the way of Mr. Hyde’s triumph?\u00a0 You.<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes you, the reader.\u00a0 Here is your chance to cheer the Mr. Hyde in me.\u00a0 Buy my books, review and rate me, then utterly and completely defeat, yes, defeat Dr. Jekyll.\u00a0 Will you join me in my quest?\u00a0 I need captains who will lead me to victory and seal Dr. Jekyll to the dark abyss forever.\u00a0 So spread the word amongst the lands and across the seas.\u00a0 Mr. Hyde shall soon be on the loose with more great tales of epic proportion.\u00a0 Rise now!\u00a0 Rise now!\u00a0 For death and glory and new published story.<\/p>\n

Dramatic – yes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
