Why I created the Neuphobes Series

It all started with a book that would include all the things I often wondered about, but could never find in any one book or movie. So I wrote From Whence They Came – Perhaps it should have read: Whence They Came, but by throwing in the “From” made is sound smoother – even though to the critical eye it was repetitive. (Amazon bots have yet to make me edit that) So I got that out and perfected it as best I could--some 35 years in the making. Once completed, I had the urge to put in another whole perspective on the alien phenomenon, and so brainstormed, Beyond Imagination. But there still lingered in my imagination the full embodiment of the Series: the aliens from their planet to the present. In my adult years, I had learned a lot of strange and interesting things. Science and history have greatly changed since I started writing science fiction back at the age of 19. So to finally get all of that out of my system, my mind, I wrote yet another book in the Series, which is chronologically the first: Before it Began. Now, having written all three of these books, purging my mind of everything alien and religious, prefacing certain characters in them from my short stories, The man Who carried Guilt and The Final Chapter, the Series was now well underway, but invariably opened itself to be accepting various other aspects of my "world". I then planned to move onto the writing genre of a psychological thriller, which fell between simple fiction, with a lot of family dynamism, and a story line leading into science fiction. The main character, of course, was to be Steve Coleman--whom we all knew had a ton of baggage kicking around in his psyche. Thus was born "Mind of a Madman".
