About

I jumped off the office job hamster wheel and started doing what I should've done yeeeeaaars ago - writing! It sure as heck doesn't pay the bills (turns out the world wasn't gagging for my work), but at least I'm finally using what little talent I was given. It's taken years but I'm now producing work that embarrass me.After a long, harsh education about the publishing world, I taught myself the drill and have now published three books: Wild Avengers - Defenders of the Animal Kingdom, Chilli Bites - Revenge, a Dish Best Served Cold, and The Seagull and The Sheikh.
