I've been an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy since I first picked up an Isaac Asimov novel my father left on the coffee table. My high school art teacher introduced me to Tolkien in the late 70's. I first started writing just after college, but put my stories aside when life got in the way. They never stopped running through my head though. A few years ago, I decided to finish the first the series, working on backstories, POV and word count. The second in the series is ready for editing and the third is a work-in-progress. I joined Florida Writer's Association and attend their conference every fall. My series is a labor of love for me.
