ABOUT ME:
Writer, illustrator, known for my books Retrograde and Holy Hell.
Lifelong scribbler and bibliophile.
Music lover.
Geek and day-dreamer. Also, a hopeful cynic from some accounts.

MOST EASILY DISTRACTED BY: Shiny new books, toys and ideas...

GREATEST REGRET: Once discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down...

“Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, and I’m going to be happy in it.” (- Groucho Marx)
