Ever since I was little I was fascinated by stories. I'm forever grateful to my mother for taking the time and reading to me each night.

In middle school, reading and living the stories in my mind was the other way of seeing movies. In high school I wrote some prose and poetry, one poem was actually published locally.

College forced my perspective wide open in the different novels and literature venues. College was where I also became a player and later game master for tabletop roleplaying games. It's from these games that my love of Science Fiction and Fantasy gained a new dimension, the games were detailed and with the other players the worlds we created had more life in them. This way of living stories would aid in my writing them into my first novel.

After college I started two simultaneous D&D campaigns located in the same city with two different adventuring groups. A year later the groups would converge in one massive mission of twelve players. It was a wonderful and chaotic good time, and also ended the Sem'se campaign. But not the Sem'se story, which is where my tale as a writer begins.
