- Something About Me and My Book:
- I've been writing for 10 years. My first efforts were a series of poems and a collection of short-stories which I plan to market separately.
Currently, I am working on marketing and selling two novels. One is an action/adventure story, called 'Pen Prey'.
The other is an occult themed crime novel called, 'Kiss of Deception'.
I like to take familiar stories and turn them on their heads and present them as brand-new, originals concepts.This is the reason I chose Pen_duelr as my pen name. Because it is derived from 'Le Pendu', an upside down, symbolic icon. (See my blog #1: Origin of Pen_duelr.)
Though some of my stories are flights of fantasy, most of them are grounded on a believable reality. Consequently, I research my ideas as this helps me to craft a stronger, more realistic story.

The Origin of Pen_duelr
The Origin of Pen_duelr
As I thought about a fitting pen name, I happened across a web site http://web.org.uk/picasso/hanged_man.html and read an interesting story:
According to Nordic mythology when Odin chief of their gods decided to invade another land, he first decided to hang upside down from a tree limb.
Why would he do this, you… Continue
