The Captain; and Other Tales

About Me

I'm a fictional and non-fictional author and poet who has been writing since I was about 8 years old. I write mostly about horror, love, life, death, and Christianity. My first book, which will be self-published, is coming out soon. It will include works such as The Captain, The Story of the Storm, Taken, To Be With Her, The Former, The Warrior, and more, including never before seen new works. Check out this site for more updates and news.THIS JUST IN!!! I found the very first poem that I ever wrote, and will include it in with my other writings. I believe I was in the third grade, and believe it or not, it was published in a magazine! Looking forward to it!

My Interests

I have chosen a variety of subjects for my works over the years, including love, life, death, healing, pain, and horror.

I would like to thank everyone who has ever commented on, supported or critiqued my works when I was on sites such as fictionpress.com and writing.com.

But, take heart, because I did heed your advice and it affects my works while I'm in the process of editing them for final print. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart!And for those of you who are new to my works, I will post some in my blog soon, I promise.
