I'm an unknown author, college student, soldier, public affairs specialist, husband, father, proud American, and pro-wrestler. My first book, THE HEARTBREAK CYCLE, is available on Amazon.com (the preview cuts off mid-poem). I intend to add many more books to this humble debut over time.

The dream is to someday write for a living...

**CURRENT PROJECTS**

"POETRY - My first love." This is where I begin as an author. I have self-published a book of poetry, "THE HEARTBREAK CYCLE." I am also releasing some of my more recent and otherwise unpublished works here on Wattpad, just for you--you'll find them in "I QUOTE MY MIND."

"FANTASY - My true love." I am both proud of and paranoid about my fantasy writing, as I've been engrossed in fantasy my entire life. My fantasy novel is a work and progress, and it is called "SONG OF POWER."

"SCI-FI - My mistress." While I am a long-time fan of the genre, I never really pictured myself as a sci-fi author. The MAColytes on Wattpad have spoken, however, and "M.A.I.D.S." won two of the 2011 Watty Awards. There will be more...

"OTHER - My crushes." This catch-all category includes my other, random works. Right now I'm exploring this area with "THE OLD MADE NEW," a series of fairy-tales with a MACThree spin, all somehow connected. I may add more to this category moving forward.

**Please PM criticism, feedback, haiku, hate, NSFW pix, suggestions, random thoughts, and questions. I value your input; it will mold me into a better writer. I believe in Wattpad as a useful tool for any writer looking to improve their craft (shouldn't every writer look to improve their craft?).
