I’ve always been fascinated by stories, whether they’re comics, films, television, books, or games. I’ve also been making up stories for as long as I can remember. When I became old enough to hold a pen in my hand, I started to write those stories down. At first, my stories were only a few lines long. They weren’t very good, but the more I practiced, the more I wrote, and the better I got at the parts that make a story: dialogue, description, characterization, motivation, plot – all the good stuff that keeps people turning pages and coming back for more.
I hope you’ll take a look at my stories, some of which you can purchase and others you can read for free, here and around the web!
