I write fiction, because it was the only thing I could ever imagine myself doing. In second grade I wrote a story that my friends loved, and was enraptured by the process/adulation. Granted, I had  basically just completely plagiarized the plot of the movie "Fern Gully" (but with penguins!*), but I didn't understand intellectual property law back then.
Actually, I don't understand it now, either.

I live in Southern California, where I've lived my entire life and hope to die (in glorious combat, at a very old age). I do like to travel, and maybe someday I'll have the means and the time for it. I live with my amazing ninja/wife Gina, hilarious son Dash, and the cutest dog in the world, Luna (or Luna-Tuna to her friends). Writing, movies, vidja games, and the internet take up most of my time. I'm a drummer, but there's never a place to do it since my high school ska band broke up, and my legendary skills lay dormant, coated with rust.

My dreams are to someday captain a space-freighter crewed by wacky adventurers, dislike a movie based off one of my books, and figure out how to spell the word "exacerbate" on the first try. Which, I didn't. I had to type that about four times before I got it right.

If you like my stuff, check out Deadgirl, my novel. Available for paperback, Kindle, or Nook. It's a young adult paranormal about Lucy Day, the girl too damn stubborn to die. Check it out on Amazon's or Barnes and Noble's website. The sequel, Deadgirl: Ghostlight, is also available.

*That story I wrote in second grade was called "The Penguins Go to Australia," by the way.  I could tell you were dying to know.
