Ian Cameron WoodIan Cameron Wood began writing this book in 2006. During the 14-year journey following, there were many times he wanted to give up. The basic story was not completed until 2010 due to numerous interruptions and commitments. There were many re-writes nd edits over the ensuing years as well as times of utter frustration and dissatisfaction that led him to abandon the project on four occasions. Nevertheless, he kept coming back and persevered through numerous rewrites and edits until arriving at a satisfactory result. The impetus for writing this book came 6 years after lapsing into severe depression after fifteen years of verbal, emotional, psychological and spiritual abuse and betrayal by a church pastor. His slow climb from deep darkness was helped by turning his focus to art and writing. He has had art exhibitions in Victoria, San Francisco and Mexico and released his first book of poetry and short stories ('the ends don't meet') in August 2018. His second novel is due for release in October 2021 with a second book of poetry and short stories to follow soon after. Read More Read Less
