I'm an aspiring writer with a love of music, TV, film, and the always popular world of comics. I graduated from Kean University in Union NJ with a B.A. in English, and since then, I've been balancing work in retail with covering concerts from the bands of nearby Westfield. I've also spent a year and a half writing my first fantasy novel, THE LIGHTRIDER JOURNALS, and working to get it published (hopefully soon). In the meantime, I've been teaching myself guitar and bass, keeping up on the music scene, and learning about all my other interests. I can't wait to share my writing with the people here at Suite101 and hear what you all have to say.
