"Why do I write? The answer is simple really... I write simply because if I didn't I would die"- (From my poem, "Why Do I Write?) I have been writing since I knew penmanship and was telling stories long before that. I thank my great grandmother for this spark of imagination and love of storytelling as she used to look at picture books with me and tell me to make up the stories as we went along. I thank her every day for this for without writing I would be lost. Mostly I write mystery/suspense novels, darker poetry, and horror short stories. Though I have also written some children's books for family and friends.
