J.R. Geiger Profile

I’m a 57-year-old veteran, an aspiring writer, a gamer since PONG!, and obviously a lifelong KISS fan.

I do not outline—I improvise.

My mind is a whirlwind of wild ideas, shaped by years as a Dungeon Master/D&D player and a relentless “What if...?” mindset.

Whether it's little Sarah (5-years-old, blonde hair in pigtails, from my novel) or myths and legends from mythology, or from my real-life experiences, if it sounds off-the-wall, odds are it will end up on paper.

I love throwing things together and seeing how they work out.

As I said before, I don't outline, I improvise. What I start with is an idea and where I end up with it? Your guess is better than mine.

Sometimes my stories are funny, haunting, inspiring, and/or anywhere in between. It just happens and depends on what mood I'm in.

I hope that my stories do linger with readers. I hope they provoke feelings.

There also certain words that turn up in my stories/novels just because I like the way they sound. Like imperceptible and whirlwind. I don't know why, I just like them.

So travel with thy quill and parchment in hand to a land where chaos is the only order.

I welcome feedback of ANY kind whether it's good, bad, indifferent, or telling me to give up my craft.
