My Writing Story
I’ve been writing from a very young age. I still have a bunch of my illustrated stories from grade school and they were already about dragons, knights, castles, and more magic than you can fit in a wardrobe. I had an important moment in my writing career in high school when I took a creative writing class and I won the “golden pencil award” for having produced the best short story in the class. About that time, I asked myself, “I’ve read so many fun novels. Could I actually write one?” And so I gave it a shot. Over the next year, I wrote my first novel, which I have now published as “A Past With Two Faces”.
Since then, I’ve gone on to publish traditionally with various presses and to release some of my work independently. I’ve written for newspapers, magazines, podcasts, and textbooks, but my passion remains in crafting fantastical worlds and characters. I love to teach and spend my time at writer’s conferences, helping others improve their craft so they can succeed as authors.
