Somehow in my mind the young man looked like a young Heath Ledger.

Thanks, Chris! Yeah, I like to change up themes and settings whenever I can. I feel like it keeps things fresh. I'm always influenced/inspired by what I'm reading. I recently discovered Louis L'Amour. He writes frontier fiction, which is a fun sub-genre. Do you have any authors who inspire your writing?

Hey Michael— there are so many authors who are incredibly inspiring. I’m partial to good, descriptive writing that really sets the background and atmosphere for the story. I like to be transported—if even for 60 seconds 😁

Louis L’Amour is an interesting writer and the reader really gets a sense of life on the frontier. He had an interesting life.

Great work, Michael.
