As long as I can remember I've loved stories. Hearing, watching, or reading someone's great story?fiction or true?is like stepping into another world. Believe it or not, I didn't like reading when I was a kid. So, if you had told me then that I would someday write books, graphic novels, comic books, and even films, I would never have believed you.

Reading is still a bit difficult for me, but there are so many great stories contained in books that it's worth the extra effort. I believe that diving deeply into stories my whole life made me want to tell stories that drew me and others into different worlds. I believe that stories reflect our inner life and our growth as human beings. Maybe I'll never go into a cave looking for supernatural treasure or find out that I'm an heir to a 3,000-year-old conspiracy, but I know I will always learn, and change based on my experiences?just like the characters in my stories grow through the extremes in their lives.

I hope my readers find the strength and courage to live and grow by reading my stories?just as I learn to live and grow by writing them.

Happy reading!
