In short

  • I believe that everyone has a story to tell, and even though we can not all be great writers we should all take the time to tell our stories, anyway that we can.

  • My novel, Adios, Tobias Griffin, was published in January 2009.  After only a few years of writing fiction I stretched my arms to the publishing world and was lucky enough to find a publisher to take on my project.  I've found limited success with my book on the independent circuit, selling over 500 copies thus far with no formal media release. 
    When I was in the third grade I won a shoe-kicking contest, beating out a sixth grader by over two feet.  When asked what my secret to shoe-kicking was, I gave all the credit to the superb streamlines of my equipment, a pair of limited Bo Jackson's, a product of Nike.  It was then that Jenny Gardner (not to be confused with Jennifer Gardner, aka, Bennifer), the prettiest fifth grader ever to bear the likes of a Catholic school girl's uniform, gave me my first real kiss (not to be confused with great-grandma/other significant relative kiss).
