~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 more, I entered SCRIPT FRENZY in 2010 and completed my first script -MARKED. While I do like this medium to tell stories, I still prefer to write novels, for the foreseeable future.

With the changing face of publishing, one must keep up. I self-published a series of paranormal novellas. The first instalment THE WATCHTOWER was released in September of 2011 and continued until 2015. In the summer of 2022, after a seven year hiatus, I began publishing the novels I had written during my break, starting with a zombie novel The Quiet Dead. There are many more I plan on releasing over the next few years; contemporary fantasy, ghost stories, alternate reality, and maybe a space opera. There are so many tales that must be told.
