Exploring navigating your early twenties discussing love, heartbreak, pain, hope, healing and growth. I’m a new poet but growing in confidence and I just want my words to make you feel something.

I was raised in a small town in Dorset, England, and have been writing since as long as I could hold a pen. I write everything mostly on my phone or laptop now of course. At thirty-six years of age, I have finally completed my first full novel, the other two that came before it were just practice runs and will most likely never see the light of day. Writing has been the best tool in my life to deal with all the troubles and strifes and worldbuilding is an incredibly therapeutic way to cope with stress and anxiety. In my downtime I enjoy gaming both in tabletop and video format and I am always up to date with all the nerdy movies and TV shows.

Rodney Leon enjoys island life, though he also ventures to countries further afield and without any specific destination once there. Under the old adage, travellers don’t know where they are going and tourists don’t know where they have been. Rodney hopes he falls under the former category. His love for St Gilbert’s grows with every passing year. It may be a speck of land lost in the vastness of the Indian Ocean, but to Rodney it will always be the place to which be belongs and to where he will always return, even if only in his imagination.

Who is Brock Meier? Did he spend fifty years as a research scientist? Was he a frequently awarded fine art photographer, or was he a painter of monumental astronomical subjects? Maybe he was he a spelunker, an inventor of practical luxuries, a relentless dreamer, or a maker of exotic wines? Of course, all these are true! While close friends still refer to him as “the most interesting man in the world” and “delightfully weird,” he is now a debut author of historical fiction.

I’ve always loved writing. Complete transparency alert—I never set out to become an author. I know, that probably sounds unlikely considering, but it’s true. I sat down one day and decided I wanted to write a story because I needed to know how a dream I’d awoken from ended. It snowballed and turned into chapters and eventually into an entire book. When I finished that book, I needed to make sure my characters were OK and thriving so I wrote the second book.

I live in Oregon. I draw inspiration from the temperate rain forest and people who interact with its varied range and depth. We are on the threshold of changing the environment in ways we have not imagined. The negativity of not only the politics of the world but the implications of climate change have caused us to abandon our commitment to people in our lives in favor of defending our perception of a world that has been created to question facts and truth. When we consider our own lives and relationships, we realize that as Dylan’s lyrics state “I am meek, hard like an oak, seen pretty people disappear like smoke.” We are the result of small incremental incidents that for the most part we don’t recognize until we do.
