Background
Information
After trying for years to break into the world of comic book art I decided to focus on my writing instead. I wanted to start with a series of books I had in mind that was full of intense action as well as a tender yet unusual love story. The result is the Seasons Change Series. I think the darker work of Stephen King went a long way in influencing the horror of the books, while Tim Burton's light hearted take on such subject matter help me create the fun atmosphere. Some credit must also go to the classic horror movies and books that I love so much. As far as motivation goes, I have to thank my managers at the plastics plant I worked for. It was their attitude that really pushed me to do something more with my life. I also have to thank my wife and kids for supporting my obsession with story telling.
