start, well I was born Oct. 23, 1980, in Newark, Ohio, the same town which I
still reside this very day. I have always had an over-active imagination ever
since I was little, which no doubt led me down the path to be a fiction writer.
My love for writing spawned at an early age. I remember absolutely loving when
teachers would give us fiction writing assignments, especially when you were
able to illustrate them. I read lots of fiction novels through my elementary and
middle-school years, but it was not until my freshman year of high school that I
decided to start writing my very first novel, "Kentucky Moon".
The very act of writing a novel was intoxicating to me. There is nothing quite like it. The
characters, the settings, the heroes and the villains...the culmination of all
the events you envisioned coming to life within your mind, creating an alternate
reality that you feel with all five senses. And by the time the words "The End"
are written upon the last page, you swear that you had lived through every
breath of every character within. It is pure magic, and nothing can duplicate
its enigmatic polarity upon the heart, mind, and soul. And I must say, from the
first day I laid pencil to paper on that very first book, I have been in love
with novel writing ever since.view less
