Writing poetry and short stories since I was 9 years old, trying to get a short story in print since a teenager. My major influences were EA Poe and Stephen King.

While I've entered endless writing contests, I only ever won a book on how to. I've appeared weekly in our local paper for 7 years, had several poems in the Toronto Sun, two articles and two poems in anthologies, and several magazines, an article in a motorcycle magazine and both in tourist magazines.
