My name is Gerald Victor Middlefield, and I'm not a "market-writer" who examines sales and genre trends to determine what novels I'm going to write, nor do I pay people to write subject-researched books for me to sell under a market-tested author name. I write about my passion, and my passion is, and has always been, fantasy fiction in the genre of J.R.R. Tolkien.




My novels are stories that are highly personal, and may reveal parts of my psyche that I never intended to expose, but I'm thinking no one pays that close attention. These fantasies exist as reality inside my head, and I've been writing about them for over ten years, but I have been fantasizing about them all my life.




My fantasy world is heavily influenced by the legends of north Eastern European folklore, and my novels tell of hidden creatures of magic in a world that both hunted and feared them. This is a realistic world of wicked witches who did what they could to survive, desperate men forced to make difficult decisions, courageous boys having to grow up too fast, all in a world where magical creatures evolved alongside man from the age of dinosaurs to the present.




I grew up in a rural area where my manner of speech instantly identified me to a specific lower-socioeconomic class prone to criminal complications. We were very poor, and when various objects for makeshift toys failed to entertain, I escaped into my imagination.




As a child I probably would have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder had it been a popular diagnosis as it is today, but I doubt my grandmother would have allowed me near what she referred to as a, "cuckoo doctor."




My father predicted that I would be a, "Jack of many trades, but King of nothing." I would frequently "recall" memories of me being a "grownup" someplace and struggling through a whole different slew of problems. My grandmother dismissed my "memories" as the fantasies of a young child. She told me to write these "memories" down and never speak of them aloud, so I did, but as my journals grew, my grandmother told me to "stop it!" I feared the day of not being able to tell the difference between fantasy and reality, so I stopped writing, but the "memories" continued to haunt me. I never wrote again until I had children of my own, and discovered that there was a shortage of books that didn't dumb down male characters, which seems to be a multimedia-wide trend.




'Harry Potter' by J.K. Rowlings, and 'Ranger's Apprentice' by John Flanagan were about the only books that didn't dumb-down the boy leads, so I wrote books for my boys to instill good morals while sneaking in a wider vocabulary and critical thinking concepts.




No sooner I began writing, memories of fantasies of memories from my past came flooding back. These characters are real, their trials are real, and I feel for them, but they are only real in my mind. I would love to believe that I'm remembering memories of past lives, but I'm not ready to cross that line.




I hope you enjoy entering my fantasy world I've been dreaming about since I was a child, a place I've frequently escaped to when life became too mundane, and if you do, please leave positive feedback.
