About Me

My Photo
Thank you for stopping by. This is where I like to promote my writing and sometimes talk about random things. I've had stories and poems published in a variety of magazines and have also published a few poetry books. I write everything from love poems to horror and fantasy stories to blog posts about nature. My imagination is always taking me somewhere new.
