I grew up with a love for all things sci-fi and comic related, with Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel and DC comics all influencing my imagination. Anime crept in there somewhere, and I can still remember all the words to the title song for the first Anime cartoon I watched - Star Blazers. My favorite is still Dragonball Z, though, and I have the Vegeta tattoo on my left arm to prove it.Although I started out drawing, writing became the natural extension for my creative output. By the time I got around to taking it seriously, though, I started having children. Raising them came first, and that meant holding down a regular job and bringing in steady income.As they grew, I turned my attention back to writing. Completing a number of graphic novel scripts, I worked with artists to complete the packages necessary for submission. I also found out just how hard it was to crack into the comic industry if you are an unknown.Receiving good feedback from publishers regarding the writing and ideas, I decided to try a different avenue. That lead to the writing of Frailty, my first book. Now that it's published, and I've learned some lessons about the process, it's on and up from here.view less
