Ever since I was a kid, my brain has been a nonstop cinema of epic tales, dramatic rescues, and characters so vivid they could pop out and ask for a coffee. My stories were all in my head (in Technicolor), swirling around like a chaotic tornado of chaos. And despite all that daydreaming, I never wrote them down. Yeah, I know. What was I thinking?

Picture this: a little kid staring out the classroom window, daydreaming about battling space pirates while the teacher drones on about fractions. That was me. I had a whole universe up here (taps head), and it was way more exciting than anything in the real world. I’d conjure up stories faster than popping Skittles. But write them down? Ha! That would've been too logical.

As I grew up, life did that annoying thing where it gets super busy. School, jobs, bills – all that jazz. My epic tales were pushed to the back burner, simmering quietly while I dealt with the mundanity of adulthood. You know, the usual: pretending to understand taxes, figuring out how to adult without a manual, and questioning why we ever left nap time behind.

But those stories? They never really left me. They were like that catchy song stuck in your head – always there, just waiting for the right moment to resurface.

Fast forward to now. Here I am, in my 40s, finally dusting off those old stories and unleashing them onto the world. It’s like opening a bottle of vintage nostalgia and letting it breathe. I’ve got more wisdom, experience, and a heck of a lot more patience than my younger self.

It’s been a wild ride, transforming these stories from mental movies into actual narratives. Characters that have been hanging out in my brain for decades are now strutting their stuff on the page. And let me tell you, they’ve got some stories to tell.

Creating "Star Aces" has been like a dream come true – if your dream involves epic space adventures and a family of badass pilots. Flynn Jaeger and his crew aren’t just figments of my imagination anymore; they’re fully-fledged characters with personalities that jump off the page. And let’s be honest, they’re way cooler than I’ll ever be.

So here I am, finally bringing these stories to life. And guess what? It’s never too late to chase your dreams. If you’ve got a head full of daydreams and a heart full of passion, go for it. Embrace your inner Spielberg and let those stories out. The world is waiting, and trust me, it’s going to be one heck of a ride.
