Author has written 81 stories for Politics, Life, Friendship, Love, Humor, Nature, General, Song, Play, and General.

I write because I have no other way to express the emotions society feels it is improper for me to have... Most people would find me outgoing, as I can always find a conversation starter, but in reality, I tend to be more closed than I have been in the past. My inexplicable fear of crowds only fuels this fear.

I am deeply interested in history and how it manipulates our movements today
