About Me
Just your regular run-of-the-mill maladjusted, employment-seeking, post-graduate millennial. I was a navy brat; born in Charleston, South Carolina. Hurricane Hugo destroyed our home, and we moved to Kings Bay, Georgia, then Greenville, then parents divorced, then Myrtle Beach, then back to Greenville. Became a writer whenever my father moved to Colorado. We were pen pals; I learned the pen was my pal. I grew up, did ok in school, went to an ok college, majored in English.
