Author Biography

I was born in the Blue Sky state of Washington in King County. Born the youngest of four children, I was always encouraged to give free reign to my creative abilities. When I was just six months old, my parents divorced and I spent the majority of my early and adolescent years with his mother. From my early teens I have loved storytelling. I found a sort of magic from fiction and imagination. Books allowed me to visit exotic ports of call without needing a bank full of money. It seems that our children are loosing their zeal for books and for reading. It is my life's purpose to provide stories that will continue to inspire as well as educate. I hope you enjoy my work.
