Gerald Thompson’s background blends floriculture (ornamental plants) with a lifelong passion for technology, including computers, websites, and networks. Though not originally a writer, he was inspired by a vivid, life-changing dream on November 13, 2009—an experience that became the foundation for his book Demons and Dreams.

The first chapter closely follows the events of that dream, which stood out for its intense realism—especially significant because Gerald has aphantasia and rarely experiences detailed or colorful imagery. He believes this dream was a turning point that led him to write a story he never expected to create.

As he navigated the complex world of publishing, Gerald used his technical skills to learn both traditional and self-publishing. This led him to found Finger Lakes Publishing, where he now helps others bring their own books to life.

He offers flexible, hourly support for authors at any stage of the publishing process. Interested in learning more? Contact: writeus@fingerlakespublishing.net
