Biography

Hello, and welcome to my bio page. Just for the record, I'm terrible at writing bio pages, so please bear with me as I ramble on and on about myself. I'll give you a couple minutes to grab a cup of coffee, a comfortable chair, and a pillow for naps.

. . .

Ready? Fantastic.

I write all kinds of fiction, though I have a special place in my heart for fantasy and sci-fi.
I got started writing fan-fictions on FanFiction.Net (still do actually, a guilty pleasure of mine). Generally whenever I started an original work, it would flop on its face (good thing too, since my early work was AWFUL). But then I discovered this little thing called NaNoWriMo (that's National Novel Writing Month for you non-writer types out there), and in my second year competing I ended up with a decent novel: The Blind Traveler.

The rest is history. I'm self-publishing at the moment using Lulu.com, but I'm praying that someday soon an actual publisher will pick up my book (somehow) and think, "Huh, this doesn’t stink too bad" and send me an email. Then I'll be rich and famous with my own chocolate fountain and Batmobile.

But in the meantime I'm a server at Cracker Barrel, writing on the side (not nearly as often as I should), and bringing home about a quadrillion books from the library. Other activities I participate in include (but are not limited to) watching an infinite number of TV shows and/or movies online or in DVD form, hanging out with my old drama group, listening to/buying movie soundtracks, and avoiding the task of cleaning my room.

Some interesting, little-known facts about me (though considering how much I like to talk they’re probably not as little-known as some people would like them to be):

  • My current room is the size of a high-security prison cell. (My father told me this and then went on to say that if I’m ever arrested and put in solitary confinement, I’ll feel right at home. Thanks, Papi.)
  • I can touch my uvula (you know that hanging down thing in the back of your throat?) with my tongue without gagging.
  • I didn't pass my drivers test the first time. Or the second...
  • I'm a junk food addict. Put me in front of a buffet table full of snacks, goodies, and chocolate, and I'll have ten of everything. Seriously.
  • I believe that typing burns calories. Therefore I don't need to exercise. Now I just need to convince my body of that...
  • I volunteer in the children's ministry at my church. Ahhh, the lovely memories it gives.
  • I am a member of Procrastinators Anonymous. We're planning to take over the world, you know... tomorrow.

    • Well, I believe you've heard enough about me now and are either eager to read my books, have fallen asleep, or have already exited out of this window. In any event, drop me an email if you’d like, I'd love to hear from you, or check out my novels. And as Desmond from LOST (one of the BEST shows EVER) would say, "See you in another life, eh brotha?"
