When I was nine years old my parents gave me my first journal. I loved filling the pages with stories, poems, thoughts and feelings. Words were these masterful building blocks from which I could construct new ideas and new worlds. I have since filled many journals, but I never shared my words with others.
In 2018 I took a leap of faith and after taking a small business class led by author Ben Hodson and encouraged by the other members of our group, I took the steps to put myself out there. I had written many books over the years, including magical epic fantasies, Tolkienesque worlds, historical novels, and even a very weighty book on Racism, a subject that I have felt very driven to pursue for the past twenty years.
