About
When I was 3 years old, I wanted to be a Jedi Knight and a fighter pilot. I don't have any mind powers and my eyesight is terrible. So I decided, as a little boy, that I would be a writer. Now I'm 39 years old and working as a writer in Charleston, SC. It's all that I dreamed of, and a bunch of stuff I definitely didn't.
