I love fiction, but I don’t write to hide away from the world. I write to connect to others, and the only way to do that is with heart and honesty. Life's hard; I want readers everywhere to feel less alone, even as they hide away with a good story. I also love magazine journalism, spreading the word on matters of substance that help us improve our lives, and have dabbled in copywriting. Currently, I'm an airline pilot dreaming of being a closet novelist, working on my second novel while my first gathers as many rejections as it can!
