My Life

As a child, books were my gateway to every corner of the world.  The library was my time machine.  Biographies allowed me to have an intimate conversation with every hero or villain who caught my attention.  As George R. R. Martin so eloquently put it, "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen.  The man who never reads lives only one."

I joined the universe of authors as a writer for the sports column in my high school newspaper, and I've been hooked ever since.  I merged my passion for writing and financial education in 2016 with Millennial Millionaire- A Guide to Become a Millionaire by 30.  Once I tired of the professional, daily grind of a non-fiction life, I sought an escape.  For the first time in my adult life, I explored the make-believe.  My brother bought me the Harry Potter series and said we'd go to Universal Studios after I finished it.  I learned more and more from fiction, as I allowed myself to relax and see beyond the evening headlines.

The quarantine of 2020 offered an ideal opportunity for me to pick up my pen and paper and create a mythical planet in need of healing, Anoroc.  I created characters, Beeker, Dak, and their friends who come of age with the energy of youth and willingness to do what's right when the time calls for it.

I look forward to writing the rest of my life.  I hope that someday you will too!
