I've always been a storyteller. When I was ten years old, I created three comic books. Using characters a friend and I dreamed up, I wrote three stories for each book, drew the panes, and colored them. The coloring was the worst. Sure, I was ten, but I was all over the board. I bet seven- and eight-year olds shook their heads in disgust.
Out-of-control coloring aside, I was hooked.
My favorite novels are ones where characters are put in terrible situations, but they at least have a chance to survive. If they have no chance, I have a hard time staying interested. I want more...
