My background? Hmmm...I'm an Indiana native and I currently live there. I'm married with two kids, two cats, and one dog. I work full time in Communications and write novels and the like on a part time basis. I'm a workaholic. I also have a couple of degrees unrelated to writing (computer and business) and I sometimes draw and paint. I also spend a little too much time playing video games and looking at the cat with cheeseburger websites. But mostly, there is working.
