The Empyrean Series is a collection of short stories – called ‘riders’ – and full-length novels that take place in the same universe.
A writer writes from experiences. I have purposefully constructed a lifestyle that encourages and adds to my writing and editing career. From skydiving and spelunking to visiting 18 countries and 16 states, I have collected an arsenal of experiences to make me a better writer. I believe the myriad of adventures and explorations have directly influenced my ability to create. I write in many genres, including prose, poetry, essays, short stories, full-length novels, science fiction, fantasy, memoirs, blogging, freelance writing, and fiction.
When I was eleven years old, I was published for the first time. I wrote for a local newspaper, and my stories landed me on the local news. The next year, I was published in a poetry collection. At fourteen years old, I got even more serious and began my first novel.
Through high school I avidly pursued my career, writing and reading constantly, attending writing workshops, meeting local authors and interviewing them, joining the local writers guild, working at a bookstore, and beginning the study of creative writing at a university level when I was sixteen years old.
At twenty-two years old I began an intense, structured apprenticeship under a published author and NYU professor, where I learned about editing, writing, and publishing.
