Author Picture


'I've loved the animation industry for 25 years, first wanting solely to write in it, then finding I could do so much more. Yet even before that, I loved words, and I still do. I wrote my first poetry in the 4th grade and by the 5th grade got shown off as one of the best of the school. The same thing happened with my short stories by 6th grade, setting off a love of storytelling that has not gone away. I enjoy doing many things, and being part of a team to create entertainment carries excitement for me, but the telling of stories will always be part of who I am. I hope there is room in my life to do it all.'
