Lyman Rate

Lyman Rate live in Kansas with his lovely wife, Char, and their dog, Zeus. In his spare time, he enjoy photography as well as playing with Christmas lights. His wife challenged me to write a book one year and thus his writing career started. When not doing photography or any of his other hobbies, Lyman is usually cooking or doing something with wood.

Lyman says: “To me, writing has really helped me find a way to be creative without the worry of the time spent. There are many things that a person can do that are creative; yet, after many hours, days, weeks, or even months, they might not have much to show for what they have done. Writing is different. When you finish writing you have a series of words that make sentences, merge to form paragraphs, and those come together to create pages and then chapters. Putting all of this together, you have this glob of pages and chapters, and somehow, from that brain of yours, you were able to create a story that makes sense. It's pretty amazing.

“Writing in different genres allows me to be more than a one-genre writer. I want to share my abilities and my writing skills and challenge myself to learn how to write differently to fit different types of books. It's not easy, but I have enjoyed doing this. My military fiction is different from my fantasy writing and I am really enjoying working on both series.

"Writing is about feelings and words. Without the words, there is no way that feeling can come out. Without feeling, the words mean nothing."
