Levi Drop

This tale was co-written by a ghost that lives in my basement. When I get tired, he steps into my body and writes about his life and death. It's much like sleepwalking. I'd start my nights in bed and wake up the next morning in a blue armchair in front of a laptop. My job is to rearrange his words into a narrative. For me, this is a work of fiction. For him, it's a memoir. Either way, here's our story.

Leslie R. Waggoner III

My journey as an author began unexpectedly, despite a lifetime of being an avid reader. In my younger days, I devoured works by Roger Zelazny, Anne McCaffrey, Stephen R. Donaldson, and J.R.R. Tolkien, among many others, though I never imagined I'd create worlds of my own.

My life experiences have profoundly shaped my writing. Serving in the U.S. Armed Forces in the 1980s, including a formative tour in Korea, exposed me to different cultures and philosophies that would later influence my storytelling. The concept of duality—represented in the yin-yang symbol—became a central theme in my life and my ideology, as well as a fascination with heraldry and family heritage.
