Cozy up somewhere warm and enjoy! About the Author: Author of Someone’s Story and co-collaborator on the music it inspired, B.A. was born in Richmond, BC and raised in Langley, BC, before settling in Winnipeg, MB. His first adventure was a career in Finance, where he spent 15 years developing his business skills. His highest achievement was the Certified Payroll Manager designation. He currently still consults with businesses on their systems and processes. Over that period of time, he also attended film school where he started to nurture his early creative abilities. A self-starter always interested in research, he taught himself many of the aspects of storytelling through reading books, screenplays and material online. Whenever he found an inspirational piece of art, he quickly went to the source to find the story behind the artist who created the work. It took many years after attending film school for him to finally combine his creative skills with his life experience and tell that story he had been holding back. Some of his favorite creative people: Lukas Rossi, Justin Furstenfeld, Peter Jackson, Stephen Chbosky, John Green, J.K. Rowling. Currently he is pounding away on the keyboard writing his second novel, Pulse. This project is a change of pace and more details will come in a few months Website | Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | Blog Someone's Story Review: When I started reading this story, I didn’t find it very remarkable. Sure, the characters are nice and friendly, but the story goes nowhere. It just feels like random things happen to the main character as he starts school in a new place. However, once you are in the story, you slowly see it take shape and form into something much bigger. Pretty soon, the story-line completely immersed me. I loved the main character, “Someone”. He is just your average insecure guy, but someone who starts experiencing the challenges of life. Each experience he faces contains a powerful meaning that even the reader can relate to. The author has done a wonderful job in the storytelling. The style of writing is very simple, but there is so much depth in them. Once you finish reading this book, you feel will like you were in a life-changing voyage. There are so many themes that the author breezes through, about life, family, business, love, loss and so much more. Even though the story focused on people facing mental health issues, I thought this book had many inspirational passages that anyone would find helpful. Moreover, the author highlights how everyone faces challenges, yet you can find something common with anyone to befriend them. Also, this is one of those stories where the second half is much better than the first half. Moreover, there are a few shocking twists in the end that I did not expect at all. It completely threw me off and make the book so memorable. Overall, "Someone's Story" completely blew me away and turned out to be an unforgettable experience.
