Before I was a writer I was a corporate cog. I never fit into that world and it wasn't long before I got myself fired. This was in 2014. When I was fired I had to make a choice. I could try to fit my cog into a different machine, to stick with the metaphor, or I could turn my back on that world and follow my dream. I chose to follow my dream.

I spent almost every free second pursuing the craft of storytelling. I have been working hard at writing for ten years. I did not attend a creative writing program, seminars, or classes. I did not go to retreats, find a mentor, or otherwise seek tutelage for this craft. I wanted to teach myself. I'm glad I pursued my own course. It has made all the difference.

My longest Pathfinder RPG related piece of fiction is the novel Breaking the Reign of the Dead. It is my sixth full-length novel. It took six months of planning, a year of writing, and a month of editing to arrive at a finished novel. It took several more months to design a cover, build two websites, make the downloadable files, and research where I could distribute this story to readers. All told it has been a two year project.

Oh, and for those of you who are curious: I design and make all my own covers and build and maintain my own websites. These projects are completely mine from conception to completion.
