My background is in Classic Animation. A major influence in my life was Walt Disney. What a wonderful world where even the worst possible situation can be remedied if only only believes, endures, simply tries their best? Wishing on a star, believing in possibilites and never giving up. It's that child within that motivates me. That naive little observer who witnessed life and learned, was affected and moved by the continuous life lessons every day life provides, those eyes wide open are the reason I cannot help myself, I write. Ray Bradbury, Roald Dahl, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Henry Fielding,  and Forest Ackerman, are other very important influences.  

It's fair to say I have achieved personal goals and as I am still standing and grateful to say so. It's best perhaps to leave it at that.
