My Bio
I'm an author, ghostwriter, and illustrator originally from everywhere and nowhere. I lived in France and The Netherlands for a bit when I was a kid -- Taiwan and Hong Kong, too. Now I'm tied to Atlanta, Georgia, where I tutor middle- and high-schoolers for the SAT and ACT, and I remote-tutor kids in China English.

You might possibly know me for the post-apocalyptic action thriller series I write with Silas Jackson. Otherwise, my written work has appeared in various small publications, online and in print. I can't tell you about my ghostwriting work -- if I did, I would, of course, have to kill you. Because I am lazy, I'd rather not have to go to the trouble.

With the exception of a few errant posts on Facebook, DeviantArt is my return to sharing my artwork with others. Hopefully you enjoy and, as always, all comments, critiques, suggestions, requests, etc. are welcome! Glad to be here!

If you like to read stuff, you can find some of my work through my wordpress website/blog (see below).
