Hi. Hi, there. How are ya? My name’s Selrisitai, or at least that’s what I’m going by at the moment. You can call me Sel. I write cool books in various genres, but the writing is consistent so that if you like one of my stories you should like all of them, assuming you like the premise.

Anyway, that’s thet plan. We all know that plans seldom survive first contact, but frankly I’ll be happy to hit first contact at all, so nascent am I in anything business- or audience-related.

My books focus on entertaining, lighthearted adventures with darkness thrown in here and there for a complex brew possessing of a sweet, chocolatey base, with hints of savory nut and fruity tang, leaving thereafter a refreshing finish that compels the next sip.

Dispensing with the coffee analogy (I’ve been having a lot of it lately, and this I leave here for posterity,) if you like adventures, strong and fun characters; fantasy; cool gadgets and, most importantly, competent prose, then I like to think you’ll enjoy my writing.

In fact, this is sort of a thesis of my entire writing endeavor: the notion that most self-published authors are long on good ideas and short on the execution thereof. I don’t want to be another wannabe who thinks that just the fact that he wrote something means he should succeed or that people should like it. I’ve spent years at this point working on my creative writing, especially at the sentence level. I want to engage the reader with solid sentence work, to enrapture his attention by sheer force of writing skill, which will then usher him gently into the storytelling fold, where he can become enamored with character, setting and plot.

Reading is, among the big entertainment mediums such as movies, television shows, music and video games, one that requires perhaps the most of the audience, even in a genre made for somewhat younger readers. Nothing is given freely, but each word must be actively viewed and interpreted by the reader, the book held, the eyes sent scanning from one side of the page to the next. A good writer will ensure that the reader need exert no more effort than necessary to understand, to have his imagination stoked, to elicit wildfire images of blazing sunrises and coffee-brown, taut-muscled stallions cropping grass in verdant fields.

The reader should almost be made to feel; he shouldn’t need to do the imagining for the author. I hope to make that happen for you.

Thanks for reading.
