From a young age, I was in love with the premises of fantasy novels and comic books: amazing creatures, fantastic heroes, and magical powers that existed right beneath our noses.  I created detailed storylines to act out with my toys, often updating the stories until I was satisfied with the plots.

My love of writing began in my senior year of high school, when I had to write short stories for my English class.  I wrote the first one in ten minutes, all because it was due the next class period and I’d completely forgotten about it.  That story was greeted with laughter and applause by my classmates and teacher.  My subsequent assignments garnered even more positive responses, and I began to seriously consider writing as a hobby.

Now, many, many years later, I write contemporary fantasy, aimed at people who say, “Oh, I don’t like fantasy!”  I believe everybody can enjoy fantasy...if they find the right story.  Hopefully, my stories are the right ones!
