edit data

I am proud to admit that I’m a constant reader and writer because books don’t have redundant commercials. I was born on Independence Day, live in Ohio, and graduated from Kent State University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. I am happily married to my best literary critic, Melannie. We have two sons, Michael and Alexander (“Alex”), both of whom continue to keep us active and young at heart.

Where the Journey Takes Us

My new book, by the same title, was recently published on Amazon and I’m very excited to share it with you!

Book 2
Riveting Short Fiction Series

It’s book 2 of a series, but can stand alone as well and is made up of character-driven poetry and flash fiction. It’s a fun mix of many genres. I had a blast writing it, and I had an excellent editor to be my extra set of eyes.
