My Life, My World, My Truth is a collection of poetry by Jason A. Grant that reveals the author’s soul as he negotiates through life and reflects on all that makes up the world he inhabits.

Of course, there are problems with that, such as the fact that she’s considered an interesting research specimen by some of the more amoral companies. Her tendency to stick her nose in where it probably shouldn’t be. A love-hate relationship with various alcoholic beverages.

Oh yes, and the fact that she’s still on parole.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Bystander?

Luke “Thrythlind” Green: Bystander is centered around a character I’ve been developing for a good fifteen years through college and various jobs as a teacher or Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Luke “Thrythlind” Green, author of Bystander →
