When I was a small boy I fell in love with the public library and went there every day after school to look at the books and read. I found a section which contained books about King Arthur and the round table. Among the books was a small book called Adrift In A Boneyard. It was about a man who found himself alone in the world. I was fascinated and promised myself that I would write like that someday. Cataclysm is the result.
