Father, husband, and aspiring author from a small town in Illinois, where I cultivated my passion for magical worlds beyond cornfields.

I'll be honest: the traditional publishing route has not gone well. I have 65 agent rejections and counting. Maybe I don't know how to write a query letter, or maybe the story is too long for a first novel. Either way, I think I have a story worth telling, especially for anyone who likes thrilling character-driven novels in a traditional fantasy setting.
