Buy a book, Plant a seed

Ever wonder what authors do with their profits? I spend most of mine on gardening and feeding people.
Take a look at my stand-alone novels!

Who am I?

I'm an award winning artist, author and screenwriter who spends a lot of time in a fantasy world, writing, painting, and creating artistic what-nots to post everywhere I can.

I've dabbled in film-making. Local indie filmmakers and I have created a few short adaptions of my books. In this photo you see me at rehearsal at my fencing club while we were preparing the duel for Cassandra's Castle.

I'm a lover of the classics, both visual and literary. Prone to pick up a paperback over a digital copy. I believe a story should be good enough to hand down from one generation to the next.
