Al Macy is a well-known American author, renowned for his works in the science fiction, humor, comedy, and thriller genres. He has written several popular novel series, including the Eric Beckman series, the Alex Booker series, and the Jake Corby series. In addition to these, Macy has also penned a couple of standalone books and a short story collection called "The Christmas Planet and Other Stories."
Macy's love for storytelling can be traced back to his school days, where he was known for being the class clown and the first volunteer for show and tell sessions. His teachers would often comment on his vivid imagination, but Macy chose to focus on other career paths as he grew up. It wasn't until much later, after retiring, that Macy rekindled his passion for storytelling and began writing. He started by writing a blog about improving his piano sight-reading, which eventually led to the resurfacing of his love for storytelling.
Macy's writing is characterized by his quirky words and unique voice. He enjoys writing fiction, having found non-fiction's requirement to stick to the truth to be less appealing. Despite this, Macy never neglects character development and always ensures that his stories have compelling storylines and satisfying plot twists. However, he admits that his top priority is quirkiness, followed by compelling storylines and character development, although this ranking is subject to change.
