Howdy! I'm taking a quick break from the studying life to write this. Yesterday I made a trip home for a book signing. (The school I'm attending is only 2 hours away from home and in Texas time that's hardly a trip at all.) I set up shop in the book section of Hastings Entertainment … Continue reading Of Books and Dragons

Have You Seen This?
Who doesn't love Calvin and Hobbes? I might not have read the comic in the paper but I spent many happy hours reading through the collected works. So, when I came across this today, it was pretty much pure epicness. If Anatomy wasn't persistently calling my name right now, I'd be online reading Calvin and … Continue reading Have You Seen This?

It was set up through a co-worker who was really excited to hear that I had written … Continue reading The Children Are Our Future

Stories of my life
Howdy! I've introduced myself a little. I've pointed out I'm a writer. One of my biggest challenges is talking about my writing.
