I grew up in Southern California, and--as Megamind would say--I had a fairly standard childhood. Ever since I was a kid, I've loved creating stories (I even won an award for it back in middle school). I've written plays, poems, short stories, and now I've got 5 novels under my belt (I'm currently working on my 6th). "The Prince of Prophecy Vol. I: Destined" is my first published work.
I have also recently started my own publishing press called Nautilus Press, which I will be publishing my own titles under (I hope to eventually take on other authors too).
