What are my influences?

     Growing up in the '80's, great movies as well as great writers formed my story telling style. I describe as I think about the scene. Putting myself in the center of the room and looking around to the interesting objects, action, and people, makes my eyes seem as the camera view. The same happens when I read. If I cannot visualize what the writer explains, then I quickly lose interest. A great story can originate from a well written television series. So, here is a list of my stylistic influences.

Writers: (in no particular order)
J.R.R. Tolkien                              George Orwell                          Aldous Huxley
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle              Douglas Niles                            Frank Hebert
Ray Bradbury                              C.S. Lewis                                 R.A. Salvatore
Agatha Christie

Television Series: (again, not is any order of importance.)
Firefly                                         Colombo                                   Doctor Who, (classic and new) 
Battlestar Galactica (New Reboot)

Signature Works:
The Bible                                     The Lord of the Rings              Fahrenheit 451
Darkwalker on Moonshea           The Crystal Shard                     Dune
Canticle                                        Animal Farm                            1984
The Hound of the Baskerville     And Then There Were None     Brave New World
The Mystery of the Blue Train   Mere Christianity                     

     As more come to mind, I will edit this post. These stories expanded my mind to what is possible in telling a good tale.
