Author. Coffee Drinker. Worker Outer. I'm a lifelong resident of St. Louis. I've been writing on and off since I was a freshman in high school. My first story was called the Song of Sakia (my Japanese teacher's first name, which is still one of the coolest names I've ever heard). When I'm not with my family or writing, you'll most likely find me working out or hanging at a coffee shop. Drop in, we'll chat a bit. AK
