Pursuing a dream deferred and taking whomever I can with me.

I joined Wattpad in 2012 when I was pursuing a dream to be a best-selling novelist. Life interrupted me and my aspirations were lulled into an uneasy sleep. A 2023 article featuring Wattpad as a Hollywood vehicle caught my eye and inspired my return. Is it possible to acquire now what I wanted so badly then? Time will tell. I am going for it and I hope you will help me by supporting my work and offering the kindest of feedback. In advance to all, thank you. 

For the sake of those curious, I appreciate all forms of literature and am quite open to giving feedback on stories as time permits me to do so. (Short stories preferred, but not exclusive.) As you grant feedback, I duly promise to return in kind as I am able. 

I write all types of stories, but my preferences slant towards thrillers of the pulp variety. I mostly publish my short stories here, but plan on debuting my novels as I complete them as well. So, please follow me and give feedback whenever you deem appropriate. I am here to learn as well as appreciate. 

Okay, enough for now. Back to writing and reading on Wattpad.
