I have been writing since about the age 10. Bit of a goofball, a big fantasy/adventure/sci-fi lover but also like a splash of comedy and lgbtq themes because I see sexuality as fluid. I am a Gen-X'er too and I'm not noble.  I quit chasing after the golden chalace of the traditional market which I see as rigged as Hollywood is (it's who you know and who you ....). I've went into self-publishing with little success but I'm content. I write and get my stuff out on the net and let the chips fall where they may at this point.
