I've told you guys before that I am writing a thriller: "James Flint, The Diary of a Serial Killer". However, this title closely resembles existing stories, as I found out. So I had to think of something else, for originality's sake. I've thought about naming it "Dear Sister" but that title was taken as well. I've retitled this to: "Love, James"
Even though Love, James wasn't the first title that came to me, I do love it. Actually, I am glad the old titles were taken or too close to other works, because "Love, James" is the most fitting and the strongest title for this story.
I am working hard on this, write a few pages every day, and use travel time to discuss what I've written so far with AI. I do this to check for mistakes, to discuss the characters and to see if things come across the way I meant them. Actually, the reason for discussing the story on the go changes all the time. The ultimate, indirect reason, is to keep myself motivated and inspired to keep writing.

But you know what would really keep me motivated? If you would read my story! Well, if you got the stomach for it... The story is not something you'd want to read to your kids before bed, or at all. It is an emotional and violent story.
For those who love to lose themselves in a dark, mysterious and sensitive story, this might be your thing. They will, hopefully, enjoy the story.
For those readers, I decided to put part of the story online, so everyone can read it. Please note that this is not the whole story, it is just the beginning, even though it is already a lot of text. And I do have a lot more, but I don't want to reveil everything at once.
You can read part of the story now, if you like! On my home page, click BOOK, next to GAMES and NEWS, to read the story, or go directly to:
