About Me
I have been in and out of writing for as long as I can remember. It seems that I tend toward the dramatic when I write and when the mood strikes, I write short stories complete in one sitting. The trouble is, that the mood last struck in 2006...
Type of Writer
I am definitely a casual writer. Being published seems like a very far off dream.
Interests
I am mostly interested in World War Two history and the tragedy of the Holocaust. I am a huge Chicago Blackhawks fan, so 2009 - 2010 was fantastic! Sadly, I am a Chicago Cubs fan too...
Favorite Genres
World War Two, Historical Non-Fiction
Favorite Books
"The Pianist" - Wladyslaw Szpilman; "Behind Enemy Lines" - Marthe Cohn; "Night" - Elie Wiesel; "Commandant of Auschwitz" - Rudolf Hoess; "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" - Mitch Albom; "To Kill a Mockingbird" - Harper Lee.
Favorite Music
I probably like alternative music, tending towards Metal (System of a Down, Tool, etc.). I also like some classic rock (The Beatles, Rush, and Pink Floyd). My current (September 2010) favorite song is "Odd One" by the Sick Puppies.
Favorite Movies
"Schindler's List"; "The Pianist"; "American Beauty"; "The Godfather Part 1"; "The Godfather Part 2"; "Mean Girls"; "Kingpin"; "Shallow Hal"; "Stand By Me"; "Ordinary People"; "It's a Wonderful Life".
