I was born in Coshocton Ohio, lived briefly in Key Largo, Fla., then returned to Coshocton. I have a bachelor's in journalism from Ohio State and have worked as a writer and editor since graduating in 1992. I currently live in Avon Lake, Ohio. I've been dabbling in fiction since college, but just got serious about it in the last couple of years thanks to the explosion of e-readers and the ease of e-publishing. No publisher? No agent? No problem! My stories are ultimately about people. While a good fantasy or science fiction book needs an interesting setting, in the end, all great stories revolve around people, not places.
