Revellian

My name is Bobby Revell. I have been a writer all my life. I have written over 300 poems, hundreds of haiku, and hundreds of fiction stories. Blogging has been great for me as it gives me a way to reach out to people all over the world enabling us all to share our individual expressiveness. Art to me means to honestly express yourself. What drives me most in my work is to help, along with countless others, to break down barriers of race, religion and all in the way of all of us uniting as one people. My biggest, most bothersome annoyance in life is racism. I for one believe that blogging and the social networks are doing a lot to combat this ridiculous problem (but I’m idealistic). I see it helping more than any other single factor in history . . . hopefully.

I am a guitarist and I also build guitars (the art of luthiery). I have built many guitars for noted musicians Eddie Van Halen, Brian Bromberg, Michael Lee Firkins and Michael Wilton. I handmade all the guitars I play from scratch and designed them myself.

After working literally hundreds of different jobs, and finally starting to write seriously, I found myself loving it. I write extremist transgressional fiction, but unlike most in the genre (like Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk) my writing is not based on minimalism, but more on imagery. I’m writing my first novel which will be done before January 2010. It is a riveting love story about loneliness, drug addiction, the unseen implications of promiscuous sex and converges into a horrific explosion of murder, revenge, and philosophical revelation. I do not write stories about ghosts, demons or people with magical powers. The most frightening stories are ones in which normal people do horrific things, thus all my fiction is rooted in realism. Beneath the veil of my razor-edged horrific, absurd, and often pungent prose, I am a moralist.

I have studied several martial arts including Aikido, Hapkido, Moo Duk Kwan, boxing, wrestling, MMA. I am also  practitioner of yoga and Zen.  I believe in truth, not mythology.
