Motivation for writing “An Abduction Revelation”.
I was inspired to write “An Abduction Revelation” after writing and publishing my memoirs, “The Comeback Kid”. After our divorce, my first wife claimed that we had been abducted by aliens during our marriage. I never believed her, thinking she had to of had some loose marbles.
However, publishing my memoirs got me thinking “What if she was right”? She had claimed she discovered the abductions by melting the aliens mind blocks after adapting an ascetic lifestyle. It dawned on me that if I also had an alien mind block, all I had to do to melt it, was to adapt that same lifestyle. Behold, “An Abduction Revelation” popped into my head, as if it were a long lost memory that had been buried deep within my subconscious. I didn’t even have to think about what I was writing. It just flowed out of me with not even a second thought. It was a story that told itself. After publishing “An Abduction Revelation”, its sequel (Abduction Revelation II) hit me from my blind side.
Then I got the brilliant idea to condense both books into one (The Abduction Chronicles). https://amzn.to/2zxmYJN
The questions my readers and myself ask; is my story fact or fiction? Is it reality or imagination? Those are questions I keep asking myself over and over. Some of my life events are absolutely 100% true, while some other events seem to me to be a bit too far-fetched to be real and most surely coming from my imagination. I don’t want to identify which I know to be true and which ones I question. That could be a ‘spoiler’ and we all know how much authors hate ‘spoilers’. But then again, I wonder that maybe what I think could be my imagination, could actually be my reality? What a dilemma!
I suppose there are but a few who really know the truth of my story. One might be my first wife. The others would be the abductors, if in fact, they really do exist.
Oh! By the way. The abductors identity will knock your socks off.
