I became an avid reader at the age of 4, which was followed closely by being a story teller. I entertained friends and family with tall tales, and relaying elaborations of stories I'd read, and anecdotes from my own adventures. 

That being said, I didn't even think about writing my own stories down until I was 20 years into a career that has been very rewarding in all ways except the one that brings real fulfillment; creating something that brings others joy out of the depths of your own imagination. 

I had a novel published about 3 years ago, "The Heart of Dixie" and it was so much fun to write, but I can't give up my day job so to speak. I really just want to tell stories that will entertain others.
