I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't reading or writing. Whether it was screenplays, poems, music, or a fantasy series that was suspiciously similar to Raymond E. Feist's incredible Riftwar Saga. Those fantasy novels are now dead and buried and will stay that way thank you very much. A few years back, I had a dream that haunted me. It was a long story of two friends, one of whom saved the other from evil. That dream has now evolved into "The Eighth Renewal" series. It's been a long and fun journey. I live in and love New York State. When I am not writing, usually I am harassing my wife and my son to the point of insanity. I am an avid poker player, music lover, hiker and video game player.
