Born in the gator swamps of the south and then traveled out to the wild wild west as a youth, I was raised in the dunes of "no man's" land. I spent much of my time racing the rolling sage brush to school and then racing the jackalopes home in the evening. I found my love for reading when I would stop half way home to sit in the sand and enjoy a chapter or two from a new book I picked up from the library that week. As soon as I got home, I would draw pictures and write fan fiction. To this day, I still follow a similar process.
