I've grown up reading fantasy novels and comic books, where heroes battle evil at every turn. I started writing for fun when I was in junior high and was finally inspired to write something more substantial in my early 20s when I couldn’t find the kind of fantasy story I really wanted. I needed swords and sorcery, heroes and villains, and I really wanted something with a kung fu flair as well! I got serious about writing in 2014. What started as a single epic fantasy story ended up as three books, and then I wrote another series in the same world. My latest is an Urban Fantasy series set in Houston, Texas, and I’m having a blast with those characters—more of those books are on their way. I love using my forty years of martial arts training to add realism to the action scenes, and I’ve found that if I have fun writing my stories, people have fun reading them as well. Whether you’re an Epic Fantasy fan or prefer your magic and monsters in a more modern setting, I hope you’ll enjoy my books.
