Hello!

So I'm still pretty new to Fiction Press, but not so new to writing. I've been writing for ever, but I've been taking it more seriously for the last four or five years. Since then I think I've improved immensely, but not without due help.

I don't know if I'm a particularly interesting person myself, but I'll let you decide. I love writing and, of course, reading. I have my favorite authors, poets, and musicians, and they all influence my writing in one way or another. I'm currently working on "And Here I Am," a story that has a terrible description but that I'll hopefully be revamping soon. Its a story about a family being raised by a somewhat mentally unsound mother in the suburbs in the 1970's, and I hope that you'll take a look at it and hopefully enjoy it.

Note: I am not Malcolm...nor am I a male. Having said that, "And Here I Am" is written in first person.
