From keeping journals while traveling, telling ghost stories around a campfire with his friends cheering him on, to an advanced fantasy novel manuscript similar to "The Hobbit." He always had a passion to write. Imitation is the best form of praise, a quote from Mr. Ezzard is one of the reasons why he wrote "The Magerian Power."
