Moved to the Colorado high country at age eighteen and I’ve been bouncing back and forth ever since. I am thirty five now and am the chef of a restaurant in a small town in northern Iowa. Traveling around the country as a culinarian, I learned a lot about people. It is all the fascinating characters that I had the blessing to meet and come to know, that inspired my story. That and many dreams that came to me while I slept.
When I was a little down one day, I took a walk along the Iowa River and gazed upon a tree and suddenly I found a way to tie some of these dreams together. That day (The Descent) was born. Couldn’t have thought it up if I hadn’t moved to California for a year and had the privilege to bike the coast and be a transient for a bit. I always come back to the heartland though to get my bearings. It takes a little imagination to get by here, but these rolling hills and thick air can be paradise at times.
We all deal with depression differently but staying busy and productive is probably the best therapy. They say, “when in hell, keep moving.” Just remember to keep knocking on Heavens door. I suffered from the feeling of impending doom for a while. Curiously, I didn’t know why. But that adrenaline motored me through some dark places in my life, much like the character in the story, who is also name Brant.показать меньше
