I've been writing for as long as I can remember. Since I was 12, I think. Horror, poetry, mystery. I'm writing a novel, a thriller, called "Elegy for a Moth." Some of my favorite authors include Karin Slaughter, James Lee Burke, Alex Kava, Giles Blunt, J. Carson Black, Blake Crouch, Jodi Compton, Monica Robinson, Stephen King (duh), Matthea Harvey, Ridley Pearson, Sallie Bissell, Jeffrey Deaver, Anne Frasier, Michael Connelly, John Connolly, Val McDermid, Joseph Hansen, Gary Zebrun, Dorien Grey, and many, many, many others.
