I am currently a Clerk Typist on two housing units in a State Correctional Institution.  I'm married and have a daughter, 17, and a son, 5.  I've been writing since I was 10 years old but became more serious about writing as a career shortly after my daughter was born.  I prefer to read fantasy for entertainment, but I also enjoy reading philosophy, mythology (of all cultures), theoretical physics, and am a huge Romanticist.  I'd love to be published someday, but if that doesn't happen, it's okay; I just love to write.  I'm also an avid artist.  I'm a huge fan of Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, and Luis Royo.
