/UCWE/ - At age thirteen T.C. Mosbey was diagnosed with cancer, and went through almost three years of chemotherapy. This experience gave him a unique outlook on life and death. Although these events were traumatic Mosbey has used them to create a tale that is a thematic narrative.

Meander , a novella published in October through Lulu.com tells the story of tells the story of James who recollects the events over the past months of his life. He recalls his friend Chuck, a mechanic, Rebeka, a girl whom he falls in love with, and also Rebeka’s father, Edward. By fate, their lives and the lives of their family and friends are intertwined.

Mosbey, an Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) survivor, found that writing was a good way to deal with the pains of chemotherapy. Eventually poetry developed into short stories. “When I first started writing Meander I had no idea where it was going,” says Mosbey, “but the characters began to lead the way.” He relates that this is a story he wanted to read so he, “…just wrote it.”

“I found it hard to put down … It made me appreciate how our lives are intermingled,” said M.C. Miley in an online review. Mosbey’s writing has also been compared to that of Stephen King, J.D. Salinger, and William S. Burroughs.

While T.C. Mosbey tends to be more humorous in other publications Meander takes a somber approach. He plans to continue writing.
