About Author
Read My Profile
I’m an award winning artist, author and screenwriter who spends a lot of time in a fantasy world, writing, painting, and creating artistic what-nots to post everywhere I can.
I’ve dabbled in film-making. Local indie filmmakers and I have created a few short adaptions of my books.
I’m a lover of the classics, both visual and literary. Prone to pick up a paperback over a digital copy. I believe a story should be good enough to hand down from one generation to the next.
