Brief Author Bio:

I have been writing ever since I learned how to put letters together to make words. As a child I wrote lots of funny stories and comics packed full of slap stick and jokes. Stuff I enjoyed telling to friends on the playground to get a laugh.

In my pre-teen years I was into history, mysteries, and real life drama (I wanted to be a journalist) and wrote accordingly. The historical case of teen angst... mmmm...?

As a teen I got into horror and urban legends. And even if I wrote in another genre, someone had to die... horribly. I especially like penning stories about the horrors that lurked in my high school and city. Seriously, what's more fun than killing off your classmates? Errr, hypothetically, of course. (Let's not get the police involved, 'k?)

*Distancing myself from those last sentences*

Moving on, in college I mostly wrote fantasy and some science fiction. I'd read those genres ever since I started reading. But I'd only written those kinds of stories sporatically. Not because I didn't have any ideas, but because they're hard. Coming up with believable magic and science systems is no picnic in the park. At least no one ever asked where the boogey man came from in one of my bloody horror stories. They just accept him as having always lived under their beds.

(Disclaimer: I've never actually used the actual boogey man in any of my stories. Oh, wait, I have younger siblings... I take that back. I probably have. Never mind.)

So, now, after several years of still paying-off-school-loans-with-no-end-in-sight and I-thought-I-was-supposed-to-have-my-dream-job-by-now, I still write fantasy and some science fiction. But I now I want to incorporate those other genres I loved so much growing up into my stories.

I love telling stories. Yay-ness!
