(PRWEB) May 15, 2005 -- Author Ken Schlehuber was recently interviewed at PageOneLit.com about his science fiction novel "Dream Cloud Connections." A portion of the interview can be read here, or the full interview can be read at http://www.pageonelit.com/interviews/KSchlehuber.html.

PageOneLit: What types of books did you like to read when you were growing up? Were you always interested in reading and writing?

Ken Schlehuber: In Junior High I enjoyed Science Fiction. Learning about others ideas of aliens that were only balls of light energy, and of travel to other worlds to learn more about ourselves, intrigued me immensely. What I like in the SciFi genre, is a story line that feels more possible in our lifetime. There must be a plausible connection to our reality, such as aliens visiting our planet; thats where the story starts for me.

I also kept a personal journal for years. It was in these pages that I found my voice and learned what I thought of the world. Anything was possible if I wrote about it.

PageOneLit: When and how did you first know you wanted to be a writer?

Ken Schlehuber: I enjoyed writing in school. It was only after I retired from my airline job, that I had the time to sit down for months and formulate a story from what I knew. As I started to write and let the magic happen, I slowly gained the confidence in my ideas being worthy of attention.

PageOneLit: Who and/or what have been your biggest influences in regards to your writing?

Ken Schlehuber: I have a process going on in my head. Constantly, I listen to the news, watch TV, read the paper and think that one story or another doesnt make any logical sense. Reading between the lines, wondering what isnt being said, has led me to my "what if..." mentality. When I question something Ive seen or heard, I get into the mindset that gives me many ideas that I feel few people have time to think about. I also have to give my wife credit for encouraging me to let my ideas out.
