| I cannot
remember the moment I knew I was going to be a writer. I started
writing short stories and poems at the tender age of 6. And
it just grew from there.
I started
winning writing and spelling contests in first grade, and
almost every year thereafter. As I got older, my dreams of
being a professional writer grew stronger. Eventually I went
to college and studied English Literature, which seemed like
the best fit for me. I wanted to read everything I could get
my hands on, as reading is the best type of research any writer
can do.
After
graduation, I literally fell into the world of print journalism.
It was not my plan. I always believed I was a fiction writer
- fantasy, science fiction and horror - but I soon learned
that I was also a journalist-at-heart. I flourished as a journalist
and quickly climbed my way to an editor position at a major
newspaper.
After
spending 10 years full time in print journalism, I am embarking
on a new career as a freelance writer, hoping to give myself
the opportunity to broaden my work and do a variety of different
types of writing, in addition to completing my first book.

I will be happy to provide you with writing - everything from
hard news and features in the print media field, to works
of horror and fantasy fiction. And everything in between,
for after just doing a bit of research, a true writer can
write about anything.
