Brief Author Bio:

Writing is the only thing I've ever really wanted to do. Back in 2001 a small literary publication out of California published one of my short stories. Earlier this year, I broke an eight-year bout of writer's block when I wrote and submitted a piece to a local independent weekly paper's flash fiction contest. The piece was one of 3 runners up and the weekly published it. I've never completed a novel but intend to change that this month. Thanks nanowrimo!
