I grew up in a small town in WV, but was always different than most. My head always in the clouds, I could never get enough of Star Trek and the original Battlestar Galactica. I started writing at 13, and while most of what I write is poetry, the inspiration for "The Journey to Tarah" hit me in the early 90's. It took me a long time to finish the novella, but once I did, I realized it is by far my best work.
