Reality Strikes My Dreams is the story of Harry Brown who has always known from the time in first grade during the air-raid drill, to the name calling in junior high, he's different. What follows is a story of training racehorses, love affairs, persecution from the racing commission and a growing self-awareness that leads him to stop hiding and rebel against an environment where being different was more obvious then ever before.
This was my first book and as all my books is written as autobiographical fiction. A style influenced by Tom Spanbauer's "Dangerous Writing," in that, "fiction is the lie that tells the truth truer." A statement that is certainly true in this book.
I am the protagonist, Harry Brown and the events are based on true life experiences that have been fictionalized, thus telling the truth truer.
