Biography

I’ve always hated the act of sitting down to write out an author bio. I can never figure out what to say that will sound somewhat interesting. I read other bios by authors that detail their entire living history across the eastern half of the United States, all of the different schools they attended and degrees they accumulated, and the names and habits of every crazy pet they own.

What does that leave me to work with? Well, I’ll start by stating the fact that I’m a writer. Self-published author, more like it. I don’t have any fancy degrees in regards to my writing craft, but I’ve been writing since I was eleven years old. In the last handful of years, I’ve written and self-published four novels, some short stories, and a novella. The majority of what I write falls into a strange gray area between science fiction/fantasy and Christian fiction. It’s a gray area because my stories contain violence, sexual themes and other ‘edgy’ content but themes of redemption and faith run throughout.

I also love to read. I remember reading Mark Twain’s work when I was younger and fell in love with Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. I remember reading terrific and sometimes horrifying short stories in school like Edgar Allen Poe's, The Cask of Amontillado and The Pit and the Pendulum, along with James Thurber’s, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. My senior year of high school I read through the Han Solo trilogy and fell in love with science fiction/fantasy and the Star Wars universe in its entirety. Between then and now I haven’t really read much, but I’m getting back into it. Currently I’m reading the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks.

Beyond reading, I am also an avid video gamer - have been since I was old enough to hold a game controller. I’m a huge fan of FPS (First Person Shooters) and RPG (Role Playing Games). On a daily basis you can find me online playing a game of Half Life 2: Deathmatch with my clan, {(.:A.o.S:.)}.
