I have always been fascinated by fantasy be it epic or dark. Being drawn to images of dragons, wizards, knights, and magic I began writing as early as 12 years old. Although being an author for fantasy novels was always a dream I had not pursued writing seriously until I was 30 years old where I decided to finally write my first full novel and get it published. Having found a way to self publish my first novel Trials of the Bloodstone I currently am working on creating my own RPG game world based off my book entitled Arcanum: The World of Arator as well as the prequel to Trials of the Bloodstone.  I currently live in a suburb of Chicago with my 5 year old daughter and when I am not writing I am managing and running my own business.
