What's the story behind your latest book?
As I get older, I've been looking at how I can live more simply and with less cost. One option is van living. It was while thinking of that, and day dreaming of how I would like that life to turn out, that the idea for Van Life Fairytale came. When I sat down to write, the story came very easily. The main setting was a campground I stayed at about ten years ago in outback Queensland. The details of van showering came from my YouTube investigations.
Where does the name MysticAlchemist come from?
Forty years ago I discovered the ancient science of Alchemy, and ever since I've been trying to understand its secrets. Part of my journey involved exploring the Mystical and Spiritual paths and for some time I've used the name MysticAlchemist. Now, using that name to write fiction/fantasy, I try to incorporate a hint of the mystical in every book. And no, I don't know how to turn lead into gold. The secrets of Alchemy seem nearly as distant now as when I started.
