I'll join in on the introductions. That's my name up there beside the little pencil sketch I did for my first published book, a collection of poems which I describe as "slightly of the beaten path." I continued my writing journey with my favorite genre, science fiction, and haven't stopped since. I now have two poetry books, and six sci-fi to my name with another in the works. If I was relying on my writing to make a living, I would be in a little trouble, but as most indie authors, I write because I love to and enjoy when readers enjoy what I create.
