I'm a 35 year old male, with one daughter, two ex-step kids, four step kids and an awesome wife. I work in an office, producing mind numbingly boring documents sometimes in excess of 300 pages, a total waste of any writing talent I have (I'm not claiming I have any - that is a matter of opinion, really).

Favorite Novel:

I'd have to say nothing I've read yet has surpassed, or had the impact on me, that J.R.R. Tolkien's works had on me as I read them in seventh grade.

Favorite Short Story:

I really haven't read so many short stories - I've always read novels.

Favorite Author:

JRR Tolkien, Robert Heinlen, Robert Asprin, Douglas Adams, Frank Herbert, Fred Saberhagan, most recently Jim Butcher for his "Dresden Files"

What I'm reading:

The "Star Wars; Republic Commando" series

Why I write:

I write because I love to play with language, and I like the idea that the words on the page become a movie in another persons' mind. The best books are the ones that years later, you can remember "scenes" in them so vividly you can't remember whether it was a book or a movie.

My goals as an Author:

Eventually, to be able to write for a living and work from home.
