Inspiration

As a child, I spent a lot of time reading at my grandmother's house. I became very inspired by the classics, especially Shakespeare. As I grew, I knew I wanted to be published. One day I found my first Piers Anthony book; his writing career made me want one of my own. Other writers that have inspired me are Terry Pratchett, Jeff Markowitz and Stephen King. However, my writing style is very unique and would not make you think of these writers at all. From these inspirations came the seedlings for the dark fiction and paranormal mysteries that I write today.
