I am a pessimist by nature but can still see the sun when it's not raining. There are many dreams I'd like to achieve, but my main aspiration is to become a novelist and hopefully not have to spend the rest of my life behind a desk. I enjoy writing stories of any kind but prefer to write fictional tales that either challenge the reader's conventional way of thinking or scares their pants off. No matter what I write, I want to provide a thought-provoking experience for the reader to enjoy. When I'm not writing or blogging I enjoy reading (who doesn't love Stephen King?), fishing, strumming my guitar, watching movies, and playing video games (sometimes a bit too much). I am very open to questions or comments, so if you have anything you'd like to ask or discuss with me, please visit the 'Contact Us' page at https://www.shortlifelongroad.com/, fill out the form, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
