About Me
At this point in my life, I have only been published in local magazines and had never considered writing as a career until last November when I lost my job. I knew it was time to pursue the dream and try to make what I love into an actual profession. So far I have completed one novel and I am well on my way to completing the second.
Type of Writer
I write fiction, and nonfiction according to my mood.
Writing Style
I would be the first to admit that I don't know how to characterize my style, although I'm sure I've borrowed from my idols.
Interests
Music, art, reading, camping, biking, and traveling.
Favorite Genres
I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite, but for the sake of this website, I'll claim fiction.
Favorite Books
Please Kill Me, For Whom the Bell Tolls, On the Road, The Big Sleep, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, The Grapes of Wrath, One River, The Three Musketeers, Heart of Darkness, A Scanner Darkly, Cat's Cradle, The Underdogs, The Falcon

Favorite Quote
if you wish, I shall grow irreproachably tender: not a man, but a cloud in trousers!-Mayakovsky
Favorite Music
My favorite music is not of any specific genre or artist, it is that which speaks to my soul on any given day.
Favorite Movies
My favorite movie of all time is nothing heady or profound, it's Indiana Jones. I don't feel compelled to tell you the other half million that I've liked, other than to say, you probably liked them too.
