Author has written 11 stories for Mystery, Horror, Fantasy, Romance, Thriller, General, and Essay. I'm a husband, an author, and a musician, chosen by God and devoted to passionately worshiping Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. I love classic literature, progressive rock, and role-playing videogames, not to mention baseball and old comic books. I drink way too much coffee, and at the same time, never enough. At 23, I already forget how old I am and need my loving wife to remind me - in addition to her gentle reminder that my tie does not go with my shirt. We live in New Jersey, contemplate baby names for the children we plan to have some day, and take frequent road trips. Stories are true to our common experience; they are statements which concern the human condition... Stories are not subject to the imposition of such questions as true or false, fact or fiction. Stories are realities lived and believed. They are true. - N. Scott Momaday, "The Native Voice" Blog Original Music Maps for Secrets: | |||||||||
