Hey Everyone!
Hello Everyone!

My name is Kurt McCrohan and I'm a newly published author from the Philadelphia area. I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelor's in English and later returned for my MA in education. I'm here to connect with some like-minded and opposing authors to broaden my own perspective as well as my writing experience. I look forward to getting know you all.

Sign up for your roles here, and feel free to be deceitful! Every good story could use a little deceit.

I'm signing up to be an opposing view. It's more interesting than agreement!
