Background
Information
|
|
I've been writing all my life. In high school I discovered the world of hard-boiled fiction(Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, John D. and Ross MacDonald) and I was hooked. My interests are eclectic and varied. I appreciate good writing, regardless of the genre, and always try to make my works entertaining.
