I have been writing short stories since I was 13 years old.  It all started with a 39 cent composition book bought at "Odds & Ends" in Brockport, NY.  I remember the first short story I ever wrote "The Twin" and I may even re-write it for my readers.  I went through school writing short stories.  By my senior year I started writing full length novels.  My biggest dream in life was to become published.  When that day finally came it was the greatest moment in my life.   During my free time of my busy life I work on a new story and hope that it could be the one that makes it big.  One day I hope to be among the great authors of the century!
