About Me
I was born to a poor family in Dallas, Texas and have lived in the North Texas area my entire life. In school I was interested in music. I played, violin and trumpet mainly but can also play tuba, and baritone. I was pretty good at the trumpet, even better on violin, but not quite good enough to make a living doing this. I went to college, but ran into financial troubles after one semester and had to take a job in a sheet metal factory with my father. So, I have no writing education at all.
Type of Writer
I am a complete newbie when it comes to writing. I am interested in history, thrillers, fantasy and horror.
Writing Style
I am such a newbie that I don't even know what writing styles are, let alone which one would apply to me.
Interests
I am interested in hiking and camping. I enjoy music, mainly classic rock and hard rock, but I also like classical and blues as well. I love to read. I like many authors: Thomas Harris, J. R. R. Tolkien, Steve Berry, H. P. Lovecraft and Anne Rice.
