| | Heroes | Stephen King, happy people, no wait I hate people like that, but I like people who wear underwear in public, that's always good. My son and my wife Stephanie and my little daughter Shaylea and the man/woman who invented shoelaces and velcro. Yeah that's good. That'll be it.

I am a writer, artist and philosopher. I’ve been writing since I was in grade five when my teacher read the class a book called, “Pennies for Nothing”, by Gordon Korman. What made me want to write was not necessarily the book or how it was written but the fact that the author who wrote it was first published before he reached his teens. I was awestruck, inspired and encouraged by this. I realized that it wasn’t only the men and women in the later years of their life who wrote books and I saw an opportunity. Up until I was eighteen, I wrote at a rate of roughly four short stories a year (not much right?) on an avocado green IBM Selectric typewriter my mother had purchased for me one Christmas. At eighteen I found out my son was going to be born and between a full-time and a part-time job and finishing school so my son would never have an excuse not to get his high school diploma, I wrote only two stories. Oddly enough, I’ve lost most of those early stories as we moved from place to place – except the two I wrote when I was eighteen. Those two ended up as the inspiration for my first novel, “Angel’s Crossing”. I’ve sinced finished; “The Sex Sideshow”, "Sin in Skin" and "A Walk Amongst the Dead" and the typewriter sits in the closet. I have a penchant for old things, antiques especially, and to most, my second-hand Pentium II would be considered antique. I can’t get on the Internet with it with out a lag a mile long but it works to write on so I use it for that and the memory is filled with the writing I do now.
The people I have connected with here do what a teacher once did when he read me a book about a kid with nothing, who earned everything.
To all my friends… take it easy

Who I'd like to meet:
Friends, readers, other writers, agents, editors and God. I have a few questions to ask him. AND Stephen King (on Nov. 19th, 2009 this one is made a reality). Is there a difference? I've posted fiction in my blog and if anyone would like inquire about reprints for publication simply message me. |
