I've always been an avid reader of almost all genres. I've been reading and writing since I was 7 and snuck into my moms collection of Stephen King books. Only recently did I have the courage to put myself out there (with a lot of persuasion of author friends) and publish my 1st book, which was cowritten with the amazing J.L. Clayton and being brave enough to subjecting myself to the criticism I've seen so much. But that won't stop me from pursuing my dreams.
I will be finishing the "Delusional" series on my own, it's almost done because the characters won't let me stop even if I wanted to , they've found a home instead my head and have a story they want me to tell. 😜.
I have degrees in Forensic Science and Abnormal Psychology, which I b ...more

I started writing dark stories when I was in 1st or 2nd grade, the same time I snuck into my moms Stephen King book collection. She loved "my unique take on the world", my teachers did not. I remained clueless to an audience for my "style", which is mostly GRAPHIC KILLS & "BLOODY" GOOD SEX. But, never Limit yourself to what you think you're best at. I spent a year filling the pages in Anthologies for two of the best Pubs for UNIQUE concepts, that landed me in almost every genre. What's funny, is my two favs aren't gory and don't have sex scenes. Ending Eternity featured in Crazy Inks Art Inspires words book 1, is a story of sadness, truth, love only the two I wrote about could share with a touch of Paranormal, the story was inspired by Van Gogh's Starry night over the Rhône, and a small part of me. The other is by Enchanted Anthologies, and it's an intertwined story where each Author writes 1 character called Unmasking The Ripper, I got to write as Jake, an awesome FBI agent, and who I submitted for - but, a curve ball was thrown at me when we found out more details & I learned I wasn't writing as Jake the FBI agent who knows all about Forensics, and how to handle himself in the field. His partner "Dan" was actually Daniel, and Jake was a lifelong playboy, who was drawn to the partner he never wanted as the group travels back in time to stop Jack The Ripper. The reason I mentioned those two stories is because my advice is PUSH YOURSELF UNTIL YOU WANT TO QUIT, I haven't met an Author yet who hasn't wanted to throw in the towel. I thought I was getting Van Gogh's much more famous painting The Starry Night & had a horror planned, and I never thought I could write so many words as ONE character, I figured I had no way of relating to, and if I can't become my characters you'll know it. But I found a way to use the little I was given and do something I'd never seen done, I'm sure its been done, but to me, I came up with the ways I got the words, and the feedback was exactly what I was looking for- (less)

I could be staring at the stars and a story will pop into my head, a dream has played many roles in my stories, but mostly real life events are what inspires me to write. (less)
