I am a former broadcaster who has decided to follow his dream of being a writer. I am influenced by anyone who has overcome a tough childhood and upbringing and survived it. As far as other writiers I am a huge fan of Anne Rice, Donna Montalbano (local author of "The House on Benefit Street), and the works of Rimbault.
I have also recently been made Vice president of Kendall Publications and Vice President of Safety Zone Advocacy which is a non-profit organizatio that helps children who have been victimized by child predators.
