Bio
I started dreaming of being a writer after listening to my grandfather spin tall tales about gigantic rats, ferocious sharks, and the man who caught a missile in his teeth. Growing up in a family where I was the second of five children, my craving for solitude cultivated an overactive imagination that got me into a lot of trouble. After hearing an audio recording of Poe’s “Cask of Amontillado” in my junior English class, I knew I wanted to write. When I finally took that creative writing class my senior year in college, I decided to become a fiction writer. I had no idea how difficult that was going to be, but I made the right choice.
Writing has given me a very broad perspective, an appreciation for diversity, sincere patience, and empathy. My work strives to express and share those gifts. And of course, it's a lot fun. When I'm not writing, I teach writing and English in Tucson, Arizona where I live with my lovely wife and two awesome young people that were once awesome little people.
Reach out. I love to talk writing.
BTW, my swirl logo is an ancient symbol used in many cultures that represents everything from the cycle of life, birth, growth, death, and re-incarnation. For me it is the Taino (Native tribe endemic to Cuba and Puerto Rico) symbol that represents cosmic energy, the life force that exists everywhere.
