Flippin' The Style Meter To 11...
--Brad's Thoughts on Style:--
.
From the Author of REZ'S EDGE
Don't you hate it when you're reading along and some overly-esoterically-wordy author throws out some weird word that requires the use of Mr. Webster or his online equivalent? I do. So, If i'm going to use some weird or cool word I always try to use it in such context that its meaning is relayed to the reader, or I artfully toss in another sentence that uses another set of words that lets my readers know what the hell I meant in my previous sentence. I don't want to break up your reading flow and piss you off. Hey!, your welcome!
.
The aforementioned given, I also try to write in a conversational style that borders on the artistic stylings of John Steinbeck (if you'll forgive me for some name dropping and accept my humility when I say I'm no John Steinbeck, but I damn well am trying my hardest to get there!).
.
I'm all about the active voice, as it seems more dramatic, in the moment, and bloody adventurous; so I write as things are actually happening RIGHT NOW (present tense... baby). Of course I flip-flop back and forth If I'm flashing back or future probing. My biggest driver is to make it super interesting and absorbing to the reader. I want you IN my stories and LIVING them with my characters. I want my readers dirty, sweaty, bloody, elated, frightened, laughing out loud, titillated, and on the edge of their damn seat, bed, log, whatever!
.
Well, that's all for now folks. If you want more details about me or my books, hit up my website at:

Thanks for the READ! Drop me a NOTE! I promise to write you back! CHEERS!
