I've been writing all my life, from my very first Outsiders-like short story at age 13 to my most recent novel, Ascension, which is published through Amazon.com's Kindle Direct Program. When I read Lord of the Rings at age 12, I decided that one day, I wanted to write a novel like that. Publishing a book took a very long time as I followed other loves, including science and fine arts. I went to art school for a year, and then studied science in university before getting a Masters in Social Science. I now work in policy analysis for Government but my dream is to write full time. I have finished a High Fantasy Young Adult novel that I am trying to get published through traditional book publishing, currently in agent slushpiles. Retribution, Book Three of my paranormal romantic suspense trilogy, is in the works, and I expect to have it published by Christmas 2012. I write about immortality, love and the conflict between personal desire and duty.
