Want to really get to know me? Come Visit me on my Facebook fanpage here http://www.facebook.com/bloodandbrotherhoodFirst and foremost I am a father and a husband. I have a house full of amazingly talented but mischevious children, and a wife who couldn't be more supportive of my writing dream (when it doesn't interfere with my honey-do list). I currently live in southern Louisiana with my family, having settled here after nearly a decade serving in the USMC.I am a bit of a geek, currently addicted to The Big Bang Theory and HBO's Game of Thrones series, among other scifi and fantasy series that are too numerous to list. I read vast quantities of fiction, though primarily fantasy, and have been known to devour entire sagas in mere days.I enjoy writing across several different genres from poetry, to children's stories, to full epic fantasies. Creating new characters for my readers to connect with, new worlds for them to immerse themselves in, and new ideas to wrap their minds around is an amazing if not humbling experience. I hope that all my readers can take something away from each of my books, and enjoy reading them just as much as I have enjoyed putting them in print.Semper Fidelis...and no, I am not a Cylon. I swear!
