~I am neither an author nor a writer. I am a storyteller with good grammar.~

Author Bio

My passion for writing began in my mid-teens. At the age of sixteen, I wrote my first novel, CINDY’S SONG, a YA coming-of-age, where the main character deals with not only the social and peer pressures of that particular decade (early 80’s), but the complex and often mind-boggling hierarchy of the teenage social structure. Unfortunately, due to negligence, the completed manuscript was lost during a gypsy period in my life. I hope to one day re-write the novel with a more Scifi feel to it.

It was this first completed project that sparked my creative energies, and at twenty-five, I was working on my second novel CHILD OF THE STORM. This was my first venture into the world of science fiction and proved to be a genre I liked writing. When I finished, I began plotting out a sequel STORM RISING, but due to ever changing computer technology, both the manuscript and the outline were lost to corrupt disks and non-compatible word programs.

It would be another five years before I would begin writing more consistently. It was during this time that I became influenced by another genre–urban/dark fantasy. Sparked by shows like Buffy and The X-Files, I followed my imagination down another path, and between my love for science fiction and my new interest, I devised twenty or so novel ideas ranging from epics that could only be told in a series of novels, to short stories.

Branching out even more, I entered SCRIPT FRENZY in 2010 and completed my first script -MARKED. I now have several idea’s for scripts ranging from Contemporary to Scifi.

With the ever-changing face of publishing, one must keep up. I am self-publishing a series of paranormal novella’s. The first instalment THE WATCHTOWER was released in September of 2011. Whether or not I chose to follow this path for more projects is uncertain, but I feel every writer should have some kind of basic knowledge in self-publishing.
