: About Me

I've been writing professionally for several years, in various genres, working in fiction and poetry as well as articles and essays. I've traveled a bit within the U.S., from New York to California and a few spots in between. I'm not college-educated, but I have been known to purchase textbooks off of Ebay for my own personal studies. I am also a musician/composer/producer and the founder of Sykophunk Productions and 3rd I Publications. I am the author of two published works:
