About Me

Hi! I'm the author of The Summoner: Book One in The Chronicles of the Necromancer.I discovered my passion for science fiction, fantasy and ghost stories in elementary school. The first story I wrote—at age five—was about a vampire. My favorite TV show as a preschooler was Dark Shadows. At age 14, I decided to become a writer. I enjoy attending science fiction/fantasy conventions, Renaissance fairs and living history sites. I am married and has three children, a Himalayan cat and a golden retriever.Click here for an audio update from March 2.You can check out more about the book at www.ChroniclesOfTheNecromancer.com
