About

I'm an indie author who began writing at the
tender age of 8. I've written everything from poetry, to fan fics, to novels.

After high school I went to college and got a BA in Communications. Becoming a writer was one of the happiest moments of my life and I will continue to write as a move forward.

Story Behind The Book

This novel took seven years to complete and bring out for the readers. It is also my tribute to one of my favorite genres of all time - fantasy.

If I need to be more specific than that for you, pay attention TOR, Penguin, Random House, Bantam, Earthlight, etc. This is the coming out party, and this is your chance to pick up a smoking hot new Sci-fi/Fantasy writer.” [</span><a href="http://exm.nr/hCjdc6">Full Review</a><span style="font-family:Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">]</span></p>
