| Introduction | I live in the anime and gaming worlds, and was a Software/Reporting Analyst in Information Technology for several years after spending 15 years in Criminal Justice. At least one volume of manga tags along in my tote and I attach myself to my Playstation when time permits. I love all things creative, but also enjoy the technical side of life. My debut novel, THE ARRIVAL, is out! The sequel is written and the third is partially written. THE ARRIVAL was locked in my head for over 20 years and escaped in 2007. It’s like Dracula meeting Snow White at the center of unfolding biblical prophecy (see The Matrix post). God and Lucifer have cameos. Everyone else is fictional. Music is my muse. I listen to whatever fits my mood or the scene I’m trying to write. |
| Interests | (old) Writing, anime, gaming, painting, gardening, reading, playing with my cats, sudoku, playing with my smart phone, drawing, being a nerd with my computer, geeking out to get 100% on overly difficult RPGs...you get the idea. Thanks to COD Modern Warfare 2 I accomplished very little in the way of writing there for a while. Final Fantasy and Call of Duty aside my favorite franchises include Hitman, Assassin’s Creed, Need for Speed, and Prince of Persia. |

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?
When indeed?
