About the author

The most surprising thing about me is that I've lived in the jungles of South America. When I casually mention that people are shocked. I'm not sure why because that fact seems natural to me.

Less interesting is that I was born and raised in California, have traveled and lived in South America, and have lived in several states and visited 38 states.

What all that means is I'm pretty opened minded and like new experiences.

FYI: most authors are sort of boring. We spend most of our time alone, sitting at a computer writing or reading. I'm not an exception.

Here are the tedious details:

I write young adult, science fiction, fantasy stories with a touch of adventure and mystery. I read almost anything as long as there's a good story. I drink too much coffee. I play Word of Warcraft for fun and relaxation.

In case you haven't guessed, I'm a geek.
