wrote my first book after I had turned 80 that was eight years ago I now have twenty-three published and still writing I like to start about 3 o'clock in the morning. I was asked what do you write about and why? I have no particular subject no ax to grind so what ever comes to my mind I tried to pursue that subject. Why do I write I guess you might call it therapy. Writing to me is relaxation I grew up in time when we went to town I would like to set close to some of the old man in the courtyard and listen to them tell stories while they whittled. Now time has change we don't have that anymore so I tell my story in a short book form never knowing or having any idea what I am writing till after I finished. I know you say that is fantasy, call it whatever you wish but that is the way it is. Just old man that loves to tell a story no matter how wild it gets. Where do my ideas come from remember previously I said I like to listen to the old men in the courtyard. I'm sure there are stories started out as an actual event but to make it more exciting they added some wild tales and this is where I am at in my writing today. Big stories and wild tales. I have just published a book of these some of these are true stories and some wild tales. I have a speaking program that I present on this very subject. Billy Pearson author of B D's books
