Tolkien ... literally changed my life. I didn't care for reading as a child - I preferred Bonanza and Beverly Hillbillies reruns, Saturday morning cartoons and the Ed Sullivan show. Then one day, I opened a book titled The Hobbit. Magic happened. I love writing, and have the privilege to pursue my passion full time. I'm still exploring the fantasy genre, trying out new points of view, playing with tense, creating optimistic works with light-hearted endings, and delving into the grim and gritty what-ifs of a post-apocalyptic world. Forgive me if I seem unfocused in my offering of reads. Perhaps one day, I'll settle into something more reliable. For now, it's simply an uncharted journey, and I hope you enjoy the adventure as much as I.
