| I am a Durhamite writer, originally from metroDetroit. I write general fiction, literary, magic realism, fantasy, and YA, which is along the lines of what I read... ALL the time. I am The Starving Artist in the blogosphere and I am an indie publisher with Owl and Zebra Press. My books are widely available and man do I love to write. |
