Biography
Born and raised in Northeast Nebraska. I was a bookworm from a very young age, having a particular love for Richard Scarry, then Lloyd Alexander and later Frank Herbert. My mother was a school teacher specializing in art, my father a cross-country truck driver before taking a position working at a farming cooperative. I did a lot of reading when traveling with my father, devouring many Star Trek novels and other science-fiction and fantasy novels.
I graduated from high school in 1989, went to college at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and was expelled for bad grades in 1992. I worked a lot of dead end jobs and finally managed to get back into school, changing my major from English to International Business Admin/Economics. I graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Admin. Unfortunately, the economy tanked in 2008 and I have been struggling to find a good career since then. That has prompted my return to writing.
I currently live in Omaha, NE and will be training to be an insurance salesman in the near future. There are still dozens of other business ventures that I hope to do someday, but I will need the money first.
I live with two cats, Mischa and Suuki, who are just as bothersome as real children @_@
I will be trying my hand at a modern day zombie novel after I complete the third book of Blackstone. It will be entitled “Spread the Word” and will deal with the concept of the philosophical zombie (or “p-zombie”) as opposed to the typical flesh eaters that are found all over the place these days.
One of my favorite cities is Toronto, Ontario, which I have visited a few times and which I am enchanted with!
I hope to return to graduate school to obtain an MBA and/or doctorate…someday.
