Hello all! I'm a New Yorker, 25 this coming May, self-published two books and working on Book 3 of a sci-fi/fantasy series.
I've been writing for pretty much as long as I remember; mostly it's been one-shot stories, some poetry, did a dabble in journalism once, but then got the idea for a sci-fi story. When I went to college, I started on a crim-justice track, graduated, and took up the first job I found to pay the bills - accounting. I'm still there today.
In the senior year of college, I participated in NaNoWriMo and won - with the first draft of Book 1. I've written a book a year since and released the first via CreateSpace in 2009. Book 1 had since acquired an honorable mention at the 2009 Nashville Book Festival and got to Round 2 of this year's Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards.
About me - I love jazz music, coffee, my city, traveling and tinkering with Photoshop. I freelance as a graphic designer in addition to my day job and do some random photography if the opportunity strikes.
