About Me

I am a writer living in New York. I think of writing as a way for me to share my experiences with the world and to record what has happened. I have written many novels over the past couple of years, some have been successful and some have not. Before I became a writer I had gone to college to study Marine Biology but I've alway's wanted to be a writer. I like to write prose and letters. In my free time I enjoy going on expeditions in the Gulf of California where I can see the interdependence of all life evident in Marine Biology. I have many interests because life should never be about one thing. Some time ago I became involved with Hollywood, they want to convert some of my books into movies. I have been to many places in the world; Russia, Poland, Germany, New York, but my favorite are of the world is the American West.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Fyodor Dostoevsky, John Milton, Sir Thomas Malory

Sea of Cortez

I can never thank my friend Ed Ricketts for introducing me to the world of marine biology. I have thought about a point of his everytime I write. He believed on the interdependence of life, a theory t...
