I write fantasy/ sci-fi/ occult books. I not only love to write, but I love to read (which is probably why I got into writing in the first place). Some of my favorite authors are J.G. Ballard, Manly Wade Welllman, Andersen Prunty, and P.K. Dick. I was born in Chicago, Illinois on a cold November morning and graduated from Indiana University with a B.A. in graphic design, later to be awarded an MFA in painting from the University of Cincinnati. Currently, I reside in Des Plaines, Illinois. My series, "The Ancients and the Angels," is about the world before mankind ruled it, so, not one human being populates the pages. The books really focus on my love for ancient civilizations. Happy reading! -M.C.
