Ever since I was young I wanted to be an artist. But when I was a teenager, my father discouraged me from my drawing and painting and I listened. I spent a lot of time working dead end, entry level jobs with no direction or ambition. However, I always carried with me the dream of creating. Though my skills at drawing and painting have stagnated, I've channeled that dream into writing. If I had to make one wish, it would be to be able to write genre fiction full time.
