I will try and keep this short, but I have lived a long time, so that may not be possible. Since fourth grade, when my older brother read me a story he had written, my profession of choice became writing. Of course as life often demands we learn other skills. I became accomplished at the trades of carpentry, video production, graphic design, website development, marketing -- well that kind of gives you the idea of where my focus has been.
Even though I have not always walked around with a pen-in-hand, I do keep a journal of story ideas. Over the years that collection of plots has turned into a trunk of scattered notes. My passion for writing has always been in the area of fiction. Even my thinking, and sometimes my dreams, are in the realm of science fiction.
