I write because if I didn't I would go crazy because of the people talking in my head.  I love horror, Stephen King was the first author I really got into as a reader and the book The Shining I read over and over and over, then when I realized there was a movie...forget about it I was lost.  I watched all sorts of horror films, the classics like Jaws, the new and interesting and bloody ones like Saw, and the silly and hilarious ones like Dead and Breakfast.   After I realized I could write (at age 9...wrote my first book...never stopped).  I tried my hand at several different genres but horror is the one that took.  Then I became a ravenous zombie fan and decided to try writing a zombie book.  It worked I wrote my first one and now and working on the second of the series.  I even play a zombie in a  short independant film...which was fun and Iearned a lot about zombie makeup.  Now I am asked every now and then to do zombie makeup for different little performances (ice skating shows, haunted houses, just fun for the zombie walk at comic-con).
