Winner of the 2021 Imadjinn Award! Finalist for a second 2021 Imadjinn Award! Winner of the 2020 Darrell Award! Finalist for a second 2020 Darrell Award! Winner of the 2019 Imadjinn Award! Winner of the 2018 Darrell Award! I started out as a child. After I was grown, I realized being a kid was a lot more fun. Not a little kid, mind you, because then you can't drive yourself to buy cheeseburgers whenever you want. A little older but still a kid. That's when I decided to stay 17. If you want to travel the world to admire creation and absorb the awesome cultures, I'm your guy. If you want to discuss history, drop me a line. If books are closer to you than some of your family, we might be related. If you want to tell other people what to do or how to live, find somebody else. That's not my thing. Give me a beach and a book and I'm good. Pull up a chair and stick your toes in the sand. Awards: I'm thrilled to announce that my novella "The Hairy Man" won the 2019 Imadjinn Award, and my novella, "A Night at the Quay", won the 2018 Darrell Award, given out by Midsouthcon.
