== History:

Growing up on a small ranch in Florida can be a rather lonely experience. I was taken out of public school around third grade in favor of being homeschooled along with my younger brothers. Needless to say, any chance at an active social lifestyle was killed. And without the entertainment of video games at my disposal, I quickly had to make use of my imagination. With a little guidance from some fantasy novels, I began to make up my own worlds and characters, living out the adventures in my head, on my family's ranch.

I spent a good portion of my time (when I wasn't on adventures) thinking about what I would do when I grew up. It had to be something I would enjoy. It had to be something that would let me unleash upon the world the imagination I had developed.

When I was about sixteen or seventeen years old, I started coming up with fan-fictions to practice writing. Most of the ideas became lost, but I managed to drum up the courage to post a few online. And thanks to one of those stories, I got lucky and met someone who let me into a group of the best friends I could have ever asked for. Furthermore, these friends gave me further opportunities to practice my skills in the form of roleplaying. Among them, I became an incredible Game Master in a short period of time.

My love for fantasy had never been greater. Though we had a habit of not finishing many of our RPs, I was able to combine my creative imagination with the incredible knowledge, logic, and thought processing I gained from my mother teaching me. This recipe allowed me to create entire worlds on a whim. I could probe deeper and create complex characters. And with logic, I could reason out and the actions of my friends characters for entire plot lines.

​

After some number of RPs have been attempted, I expressed my desire to complete a story with my friends. Three of them agreed to help me and we committed to creating a collaborative story. It took two long years to finish the first draft, years filled with life lessons I had to learn. Once the first draft was finished, I took it and worked on editing and making it publishable. With some proof-reading from my mother, I got my first book, Darkness, published in December of 2015.
