My love of storytelling stems from a time I would entertain my younger brothers with tales of adventure, based on whatever it was they could imagine.

My love of the written word comes from my mother, an English teacher, who taught me to appreciate the art of storytelling, as much as the storytelling itself.

If you do read something of mine, please leave a review! Always love to hear...The good, the bad, and even the nasty! How else can we learn and write more books YOU want to read?

The first twenty pages.

Recently I started the first draft to my dark fantasy novel: Upon a murder.
