Biography

A confessed bibliophile, I've been reading all of my life. Eventually, I progressed from just reading stories to actually writing them. Once I realized just how much fun it was to play god in fictional worlds, there was no turning back. I've been writing ever since.

In 2008, I co-founded Trinity Gateways, a writing website, with fellow authors LJ Gastineau and Tricia Sparks. We post rough chapters of our current projects on the site, and in 2012 opened submissions for our first anthology, Shadows of the Mind, and our reading/writing newsletter. Our newsletter comes out three times a year and available for free on our site, http://trinitygateways.net.

I am the author of the six part dark fantasy novella series entitled Descent Into Darkness. The first half of the series, His Own, Her Lord, & His Beast, were compiled into a single printed volume, Descent Into Darkness, Vol. 1: He Begins, in May 2012. It is currently available at Amazon.com. Part 4, Descent Into Darkness: His Command, is due out at the end of October 2012.
