My stories are generally dark, gritty, and a little disturbing (or maybe a lot, depending on who you are). My aim is not simply to shock, but to explore the darkest and most deranged of human emotions. I write humor, discomfort, sexual exploration, and horror. I want to give you, the reader, something edgy and thrilling. Something deeply interesting. Something to make you think (or cringe). I'm an aspiring author and professional freelance editor (www.espressoeditor.com). I'm Senior Editor at Oddville Press. I also work as a cook by day to ensure all the bills get covered. I have an amazing, hilarious 8-year-old son to take care of. He sometimes asks if he can read my books--I tell him he has to wait till he's 18.... Besides being an author, my dream is to become a librarian. It's in the works.I want to write more--more dark short stories, sexy novels, YA books, and NA books. I love many genres, and find myself wanting to write many genres. Besides writing, I have a thing for musicals. I sing and play the guitar, and sometimes post my vocal stylings on Youtube.Inspiring authors include: Ernest Hemingway, Ellen Hopkins, F. Scott Fitzgerald, V.C. Andrews, Bret Easton Ellis, Chris Lynch, Chuck Palahniuk, R.A. Nelson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Woody Allen. I love to connect with readers.
