musings of a self-proclaimed author

As an author, writing is a deeply ingrained part of who I am. My journey began with a blog that is now approaching its teen years, though the stories in my books have roots that reach back much further. For more about my blog, please follow the link. Each of my books can be purchased by clicking on their respective covers, and they are also available for Kindle.

the blog

The blog began in October of 2011 as an outlet for all of the silly thoughts in my mind. It allowed me to focus and hone them into cohesive memories, getting them down to “paper” and moving on afterward. In 2012 I cataloged a year of my life with “26 Golden Things,” and after that, I just continued to document what my world was like. Through monthly updates, yearly anniversaries, and sometimes heartbreaking retrospectives, I express myself consistently (if not concisely) in this safe haven that is approaching its 13th birthday this fall.

the books

In the summer of 2000 at the age of 14, I began writing a short story with my best friend in a little red notebook. What began as 13 typed pages eventually sprawled itself into two books that were named The Onyxus Chronicles. In 2012, I wrote the third (and what was to be the final) book, only to realize that one more needed to be written. I published Episode I in 2014, exactly twice my age as when I first started writing it. Episode II came in 2015, Episode III in 2017, and finally Episode IV was published in 2022. More books will come, but now they are just a hobby that I dabble in from time to time.
