About the author

I am a husband, father, and poet who loves writing, the act of writing, and penguins. It was my brother who first, as he wrote short stories while growing up, inspired me to write, a talent I thank God always for blessing me with.
My greatest literary influences would be Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft,Stephen Crane, and Shakespeare (his poems more than his plays). Inspirations include my beautiful wife and daughter, music, my cats, nature in all its glorious beauty, and the impermanence of being.
My goal as a writer is to add as much beauty to the world as I can, considering it can be such an awful place, if I can just make one persons day better I will have reached that goal.
