About me:
My claim to fame: Tee-ball trophies, boy scout badge in knot tying, haven't been killed in my sleep by my cat. Otherwise, I have no fame to claim, but I am working on it. Right now, I'm looking to improve myself as a writer. My favorite style has always been the horror and fantasy genres. However, I am trying to branch out into other areas, biographies and historical writings peaking my interest lately. Though, I must admit I'll always return to the orcs, ghosts, and a bad-ass named Roland. I just can't help it.

What I like to read:

Fiction: Crime, Historical Fiction, Horror, Literary, Mystery, Sci Fi/Fantasy

Non-Fiction: History, Memoir/Narrative Non-fiction, True Crime
Favorite books:
The Dark Tower, 1984, The Ignored, The Odyssey, Insomnia, Song of Ice and Fire, the Discworld series, Anthem, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Lord of the Rings, Good Omens, Imajica, The Time Machine, Shardik, The Ugly American, Neverwhere...
What I'm reading now:
