My History |
I grew up in Monterey, California, surrounded by trees and water and sand and tourists. I spent weekends and vacations in Carmel Valley, Santa Cruz, and Big Sur. I have always loved painting and photography, and have even dabbled a bit in Digital Art.
I've always loved to read, and once I had finished all of the age appropriate books in the house in 5th grade, my mother handed me Queen of The Damned by Anne Rice. I ate it up, and after finishing it I realized exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I was called to write. Most of my writing deals with a struggle, of one sort or another. Some of my writing is dark and violent, and some are fantastical and magical. A few even fall somewhere in between. My work is always emotionally charged. |
