Biography

I am a fiction writer;
A creator of larger-than-life heroes of ages gone by;
Great wizards gone bad, and those who resist them;
War between interstellar residents, both on this planet and far away;
Alien races intent on the annihilation of any being not their own,
and weaker ones in need of a savior- as well as the One who becomes their savior.

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I tried writing my first story way back in the 80's. At 17, I penned four chapters in a Fantasy/Adventure story (which may have closely resembled my Barbarian story now). I stopped because life 'got in the way;' I needed to work, and I was in the throes of my vehemently denied alcohol addiction. Unfortunately, I lost those pages.
In 2010, I hurt my back at work and went on Workers Comp leave. With nothing else to do, I started writing again.
What is your writing process?
Ha. I get a sentence or two running through the vastness betwixt my ears that won't let me be until it is written, then the story unfolds as I go. I don't do the whole plotting, outlining or anything else the "experts" say one is supposed to do.

    An intriguing beginning to what could be a bizarre series of stories. I anticipate finding where the story takes me.
