Brief Author Bio:

I've identified myself as a writer for most of my life. I've written for different media, from business magazines to city magazines, to tourism publications to, finally, my own blog. I've seldom had the freedom to choose my own topic, to go my own way. I hope NaNoWriMo will help me find the discipline and confidence to move on to the next phase in my development as a writer. The novel!

Synopsis: The Awakening of Valhaar

A reluctant potential hero fights to remain unaffected while forces from another dimension seek to call him to perform his duty as savior of Valhaar. Our hero busies himself trying to learn to live with his new diagnosis of Asperger's and play with his new MacBook, while the energy from his orphaned planet runs dry, and evil awaits.
