Hello everyone, thanks for clicking to learn a little more about me. Unfortunately, I never know quite what to put here, so I just ramble on and give far too much information. In an attempt to avoid that, I'll paraphrase as best I can, but this may mean some missed information. If there is something specific you want to know, I'm easily reached in the Akynd Chronicles subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/AkyndChronicles. Otherwise, here are the basics!

1.) Proud husband to a wonderful wife, and proud father to two wonderful children. These three are first on my list because they are first in my life, and putting them anywhere else just wouldn't be right.

2.) Jobs - I've worked a variety of them. Food service, sales, insurance, construction, programm Hello everyone, thanks for clicking to learn a little more about me. Unfortunately, I never know quite what to put here, so I just ramble on and give far too much information. In an attempt to avoid that, I'll paraphrase as best I can, but this may mean some missed information. If there is something specific you want to know, I'm easily reached in the Akynd Chronicles subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/AkyndChronicles. Otherwise, here are the basics!

1.) Proud husband to a wonderful wife, and proud father to two wonderful children. These three are first on my list because they are first in my life, and putting them anywhere else just wouldn't be right.

2.) Jobs - I've worked a variety of them. Food service, sales, insurance, construction, programming, tutoring, the U.S. Navy, and probably some I'm forgetting.

3.) How long I've been writing - I wrote my first creative piece in third grade for a creative writing assignment. We were supposed to submit at least a paragraph. I turned in thirty-six pages of a story detailing a janitor's mop bucket that had been used to clean up radioactive waste, and had come to life in the process. I like to think my writing skills have improved a bit over the years, but crippling imposter syndrome is quick to suggest otherwise.

4.) Who I love to read - My favorite author was, is, and always will be R.A. Salvatore. I also enjoy Sanderson, Butcher, Tolkien (obviously), Bishop, and even an occasional Nora Roberts book. I also love a series from my youth that I will never outgrow: the Animorphs by K.A. Applegate.

5.) What else are you nerdy about - Dungeons and Dragons, many video games (Divinity Original Sin franchise, Zelda franchise, Borderlands, Pokemon, Skylanders, Neverwinter Nights, etc), obvious things as required by Nerd Law (Star Wars, the Matrix, etc).

6.) What do you think defines a successful author - A fanbase. A lot of people probably consider success a monetary thing, a direct relation to number of books sold. Of course, it would be nice to be able to climb out from under my American Debt (tm) but the thing that would make me feel like a success as an author is finding a community of people who enjoyed my work so much they couldn't help but form to discuss, share ideas, etc. So long as the community isn't as toxic as some of the Star Wars fanbase, then I'll believe I've done a good thing and succeeded.

7.) Any added notes - I was determined to be autistic in my thirties, and it opened my eyes to why it was so difficult to write like a neurotypical person-because I simply wasn't one. I like to rest my fingers on the keyboard, watch the movie taking place in my head, and do my best to relay the movie to readers. I know the world, as I spent years building it. I know the characters, as I've played each and every one of them as characters in an RPG to better get to know them, so all that's left is to translate my head movie into books that you'll hopefully enjoy.

8.) Politics - It may seem an odd choice to include this section, but anyone who wants to know can find the information easily enough, and I'd rather be up front about who I am, instead of convincing an entire group of people I am on their side with my work only to turn out disappointing (cough cough, Rowling). So let me say first that I support and love the LGBTQ+ community, some very important people in my life are members, and even if they were not, I've always been fond of the saying "And it harm none, so mote it be." As far as other aspects of a political nature, there are too many to list, but essentially, I think almost every aspect of life would be better if the government kept their hands off of it. There is no reason for any government to be passing legislation regarding things like what people do to their own body, that's ridiculous. If you want clarification on a specific aspect of my political stances, the aforementioned subreddit is a great place to ask. I'll lump my summary ...more
