I am an avid writer of short story fiction, an occasional blog, a novel(which is in the planning stages). I live in Westerville, Ohio. I have attended classes in literature and creative writing at the undergraduate level at Ohio State and Otterbein college. My favorite literary tastes are in the British literature genre...especially C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. I also enjoy Shakespeare and think that a good writer can learn a lot from his development of characters. I am currently writing for the NaMoWriMo project during the month of November, 2010.
