I write in defiance. 20 years ago someone very close to me told me that I couldn't write and that I should focus on my career. I stopped for a while and then the stories constipated me.

I've been writing since I was about 10 years old. I started writing to escape. I began writing down my daydreams, writing down the stories that formed while playing with my Hot Wheels and Legos. I would share my stories with friends and they would ask for more.

I'm inspired by authors that rebel against conventions. Grimm's Fairy Tales and Dungeons and Dragons were early favorites. I devoured works by Clive Barker and Stephen King in high school. Later in my 30s I discovered Palahniuk, reading and re-reading Choke, Survivor, and Lullaby. Among my favorites are William Christopher Baer's Judas series, Craig Clevenger's The Contortionist's Handbook, and Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City.

I write to alter my reality. Very little of what I write about recently has a basis in fact. I'm actually rather vanilla.

Eventually, I'm hoping to get some erotic horror loaded here - I have some other works I need to share first.

I also like to create in other genres. I'm an amateur photographer and have been known to design skateboard art. Right now, I'm teaching myself how to create with AI. Most of the images of women on my page are AI generated. I take requests for cover art, but no one has taken me up on the offer yet.

I'm very interested in meeting other authors and exchanging ideas or suggestions. I'm open to messages and would love to have a steady editor.

I'm married. My wife trusts me and I don't want to give her any reason not to.
