Author

Native Texan, born and raised in DFW. Currently an IT /network technician for the past 20+ years with industry certifications. An avid fan of sci fi and fantasy, began my journey to be inspired after watching the Star Wars Trilogy as a child in the 80s. Continued my love for fantasy when I discovered the Wizard of Earthsea stories in seventh grade. Raised with Stephen King novels easily accessible and soon explored a love for horror which broadened to Clive Barker, HP Lovecraft and others. In my free time, I hobby build computers (built the one I write from), and enjoy the occasional meetup for Dungeons and Dragons or any other Tabletop RPG.  I found inspiration from many authors aside from already described and musical genres from classical to more eclectic, metal tastes.

 

When not writing, I find myself reading or researching or the occasional video game. Inspiration can be found in anything if you look for it.

It all began in the summer of 1993.


I was in my bedroom one evening between my freshman and sophomore years of high school. I had a notebook and a pen. I started to write this adventure. It was originally a 25-chapter, single story project that took most of that summer and the following school year to complete. I was young and naive. I had an idea, a concept and a vision.
