I've lived in Arkansas my entire life. Right now (and for the past 12 or so years) I've been doing the whole corporate America thing. Not sure what the scenery flying by me looks like since I'm a cubicle cadet and spend most of my time coding. However, growing up - I was a big video game fan. I guess I still am, just don't have the same amount of time. Two of my favorite games of all time - Resident Evil and Silent Hill - allowed me to actually "live" in that post-apocalyptic world of horror and zombies. In 2009, I was laid off from my job and while not looking for gainful employment, I decided to write my first zombie novel. I have a new job now and I was able to publish my Z1N1 novel in August of 2010 through small press (Outskirts Press). I continue to write; I have a few more things to tell in my Z1N1 world and then will try my hand at writing some non-zombie books! Right now, I'm spending time with my new favorite toy, My Kindle. :)
