I have some great memories as a kid. In between blowing off firecrackers and fishing, I wanted to be either a football player or a rock and roll star. I wasn’t very good at playing a guitar, but I was the fastest kid around. No one could catch me when I carried that football. I still have a half a dozen different guitars hanging around the house. Eventually, I learned how to ski and became very good at it. I spent a lot of time on the slopes learning how to do a daffy and a helicopter and miraculously never broke my legs. My dream was to become an Olympic skier—it was that or a marine biologist.
We all have dreams and passions. Somewhere along the line I discovered writing. My stories are a mixture of perilous adventures combined with creepy things that will give you goose bumps.

If I could be anyone in the world instead of myself, I would be: Bono. He rocks.
If I could be someone for just a day, I would be: Mick Jagger or Keith Richards. I would probably have a better chance of making it through the day if I was Jagger.
Secret: I can make my eyebrows move up and down unilaterally
