Publisher info
Stuck in the dark and malevolent world of Grit City, I am submersed in the writing of that tale. Every month I push myself to the brink of self-destruction, but luckily I am able to surface from the lower depths of my writing space, unscathed. When the sun shines, you might find me walking the streets aimlessly or maybe biking on a remote trail. I hold a BS in Communications and an MA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University.
