A confessed bibliophile, I've been reading all of my life. I read my first adult book, Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Flight, during my second grade year after exhausting all the children's reading material in the house. It was this book that prompted me to think about what went into a crafted story and how that story was told. That interest spilled over into the books that followed, fiction, non-fiction, and references on myth and folklore. Finally, that interest had me progressing from just reading stories to actually writing them. Once I realized just how much fun it was to play god in fictional worlds, there was no turning back. I've been writing ever since.Currently, I live in Jacksonville, FL, where I slave away at the Evil Necessity that is the day job and sneak writing in whenever I can. I love coffee and will often take off for a coffee shop to write. Many a story has been written while imbibing beverages derived from the almighty bean.For more about me and my work, visit me at DorisRoss.com.
