: About Me

I was born in Atlanta at a very young age. I moved to Columbia, South Carolina ten years ago, got married, and now have a daughter on the way. I love to write, always have. I did not always want to become a writer. My dreams originally were to become a rock star. Then life happened (and I am glad it did) and I realized that being a rock star is not what I really wanted. So, I returned to my first passion, writing. <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />I have not had anything published, as of yet, but I hope that will all change soon.Some other odd things you should know about me. I love to cook. I learned at a young age that when you cook, you get to eat at the same time. My mom would not let me snack in between meals, but whenever I helped her in the ktichen, I always got to sample the food. I also like rock n' roll. But I am not a big fan of todays music. (A sign that I am getting older.) I like oldies rock. Anything starting with Nirvana and ending around 1999. I have three ear rings (one on the right and two in the left) and hope to get a tattoo someday.I am also a Chrisitan, but I do not consider myself a Christian writer. I am a writer who just happens to be a Christian. My prayer for my stories is that they be entertaining, culturally relavent, and would some how glorify God in the process. I believe in keeping my stories clean. I don't rely on sex or a lot of cussing. I believe in a good story, period.I don't believe in being preachy, but I do believe that you should go to church.

OK kids, it's that time of year again. It's time to break out the Jack-o-lantern, stock up on candy corn, and watch some scary movies. OK, so Halloween's passed already. Yes, I know, it's been a looong time since I've posted anything, but I have a good reason. On July 30, my wife and I welcomed our first child, Virginia Marie into the world. So, as you can imagine, life has been a whirlwind these past three months. However, I am back and plan on posting on a more consistent basis. First, let me get you up to date. Right now I am polishing up my latest short story called, "Three Wishes". I ...
