Hi! My name is Gus Gardner. I am, among other things, an aspiring author. As I’ve gained additional maturity and perspective (i.e., as I’ve gotten older!), I’ve discovered the clarity of purpose necessary to prioritize my need to share my writing with the world. So, after toying with the idea for something near thirty years, I now feel compelled to follow through on my decades-long desire to write my great American novel. If you’re reading this, you are spelunking into the deepest, darkest crevices of the world wide web, or you hit Google’s “Feel Lucky?” button…and, lost! Or, maybe, you’re a colleague, a friend, or a family member,who at some point over the years listened to me as I droned on about my plans to write a series of best-selling novels. So, now you’re thinking, “Gee, will I actually be able to watch Gus become a published, best-selling author?” Or, maybe, and more likely, you just can’t bring yourself to look away from this evolving, slow-motion train wreck. In any case, because you’re visiting this site (part of my “author platform”), I’ll consider you a fan! And, I’ll use this space to share any progress, challenges, and milestones I experience on my journey. And, whether you’re here as a friend, a fan, or a fellow wanna-be author, I welcome your comments, critiques, and heckling to motivate me and propel me along the path to publication!
