Writing is like breathing, I can’t live unless I do it regularly.

A little bit about me…

If reading were a sport, I would be an elite athlete. Unfortunately, it is not, and I can’t walk without stumbling over something…usually my own feet.

Not long after I discovered books, my longing to create stories took hold. Writing has been a passion of mine from the moment I realized I could be a participant in creating characters and worlds, not just an avid observer.

I have written many manuscripts, some which shall never escape my box of shameful secrets. These stunted tomes are nestled between my sixth grade school photo (where I’m sporting a mullet and glasses thick enough to fend off any middle school crush) and my manifold posters of Luke Perry and Jason Priestly (#original90210). However, I have also written a few stories that hold merit, or at least, I hope they do.

Practice doesn’t always make perfect but it usually makes better. As I have practiced my writing, my skills have improved. I hope you will join me along this journey of continued growth and enjoy a few spicy tales as we seek out the heart of humanity, the devil of desire, and the legacy of love.
