I like walks on the beach, thunder storms (boy, do I love watching lightning and listening to the thunder. I was in Oklahoma during a huge storm when I was 11, sitting on the car with my cousin, and watching the storm. It was dangerous. I wouldn't recommend it, but it was so awesome.) I also like coffee, singing, making up weird things to say just for the sake of saying them, and acting.

I come from a line of nerds, Sci-fi geeks, Trekkers, and goof-offs.

Fantasy has always been my favorite genre to read and write about. Ever since I saw Star Wars for the first time when I was 5 or 6, I fell in love with fantasy --as well as Luke Skywalker. :)

My greatest work, Itara: Son of C'resth, is the first book in the "Itara Trilogy" --an original novel that has been picked up by Black Rose Writing. Believe it or not, 1/4 of my life has been devoted to developing the world of Itara. The idea struck me as daydreams when I was 15.
