Me

This is me. I write because I love to. I write because I need to. I write, because I can't not write, and I also write what I want to. Writing has been - and will be - a lifelong pursuit. I had many preconceived notions of what writing was. Those are gone. But I'm still here, and I still write.



I'm the original square peg in a world full of round holes, a hopeful cynic who believes everything happens for good, just not necessarily our good. Everything is connected, and people are people, not ideological dogmas or races or classes or ethnicities, but I also realize how very little I understand of the world outside my own.

I am a husband and a father. I am a teacher, not by vocation, but by nature. My literary tastes are varied, eclectic and sometimes downright silly. Sometimes I want books to enrich my own language, other times I just want to laugh. Or cry. Or both. I want substance and excitement, but they don't necessarily have to be from the same place. I love a good ending but also believe in right ones, though I also believe endings are second to the journey itself.

This is me. I write, because I was made to.
