Being that my background is healthcare and, oddly enough, paranormal investigating, sometimes I include both of these in my writing. I have always had a deep love for pirates and pirate folklore, so my first released book, Jeremiah Bloom and the Amulet of Osiron, combines a little of each of these. Available for purchase in January 2009, it will be the first of a series. I am also a member of the SCBWI.
