I currently live in Saint Louis, MO, have a BA in Media and Communications from Webster University, am retired from blue-collar work, and live alone with my two cats. I am currently finishing up my third book. I write unique middle school and young adult fantasy that is different, entertaining, and amusing. I am an artist, love animals, and have always had a keen interest in science, history, literature, archaeology, zoology, and the paranormal. Those interests are reflected in my writing. I would love to see young people read more, because communication is one of the most important factors of our lives and reading can establish an awareness of other points of view.
