Introduction to

“The Man Who

Hated Gravity”

Beginning writers are often told to “write about what you know.”

I have never been to the moon, although I still harbor some hope of making that trip someday. I have never been a circus acrobat; I have enough of a challenge getting through my everyday routine.

My injury finally healed, but the experience led me to write the story of the Great Rolando, circus aerialist extraordinaire.

I suppose Rolando’s character could be categorized as “the man who learns better.” What do you think?
