Self Disclaimer

For the record, my fiction is not autobiographical or even semi-autobiographical. I created more important characters to write about and have never had any interest in writing about myself or my life, per se. Here are the only exceptions I can think of:

1) The material for any novel probably contains some of the writer's observations of life and may be, therefore, "tainted" with an autobiographical slant (the "voice" in the narrative component of a story).

2) An autobiographical "voice" may also be evident in how conflict and conflict resolution is handled in a story. This voice may be more pronounced in the narrative component during character development and also in dialogue between characters and especially between protagonist and antagonist.

3) Blogging. Blogging is more about yourself than anything short of an autobiography and I blog regularly, mostly for fun and therapy, but also as a marketing tool.

Otherwise, my fiction has very little to do with me and my life. The people I write about in my science fiction thrillers are a lot more interesting by far than I am. Any autobiography of Michael Casher would be about as exciting as reading a thick volume of nothing but old weather reports.
