Someone once told me there’s an old Buddhist curse of an interesting life. My family and I have been both cursed, and blessed. My family has survived health disasters, homelessness, financial destitution, and family abandonment worthy of any day time soap drama. Yet throughout I have learned that the most important thing of all is to never give up, and never stop loving the ones closest to my heart. My family. I’m a born and raised native Florida, oldest of three siblings to a loving mother and father. I’m a writer of dark fiction, fantasy, horror, comedy, and music. I am an artist of words, scribing thought and emotion in the forms and styles that come most natural. Currently residing in South Florida.
