I think part of the reason I put off getting back into writing was because I was scared. I worried what people would think. Not so much whether or not it was any good, but the subject matter and the language. I gravitate toward the dark side, and my stories tend to show that in… Read more

If you’re reading this, congratulations! You’ve managed to find my very first blog post, so either you were determined to read everything you could about me or you are incredibly bored. But hey, who am I to judge? The blog will probably be a bit sporadic at first, as I’m still trying to… Read more
