James Sykes.
About the author, So let me tell you. Ever since I was a child we had a strong tradition for stories and audio books shared together as a family. I always had a passion for writing but with my dyslexia I was afraid and found it difficult to express myself in words. But this never stopped me from dreaming exciting stories. I was in love with funny but ultimately dark stories, passionate for reading authors like Roald Dahl, Stephen king, Clive barker and one year I discovered a illustrated picture book written by dean Koontz. It was called Santa's twin and I loved it.I was also very influenced by horror artists like Daniele Tunstall . Although my ambition was to create beautiful stories for people to share together and be published. I never wanted to be famous myself. I just wanted to recognised for my work and free to write about whatever I liked, expressing my own opinions. James Sykes writes in the dark.
I have three stories in the process of being completed , one about a team of people who play characters in a theme park inspired by my years of experience.
Traditionally told tales often start with a few words at the beginning that are designed to get listeners ready for a different kind of long narrative that we don't intend to be literally true, set in a kind of dreamtime that is a hop skip and jump away from, ordinary reality.
The standard opener, the one we all know is, "Once Upon A Time." It's a good one, and serves the purpose, but sometimes you might want to try something different, If you want, you might be interested in this. You may be wondering how I know these old stories... They come me to me at night.
