LONG VERSION

I always knew I wanted to tell stories. I filled an entire composition notebook with a story I called “Other Side” in the second grade. I laugh now, but it was a crazy story about two mice and a bird who had to travel to the other side of a pond, where they encountered a monster who had been kidnapping their friends. They found out after a series of overly dramatic adventures that the monster was just a robot being controlled by an evil rabbit. My protagonists defeated this evil rabbit and sent him to human jail.

Yes, I know it makes no sense, but back then, it was the greatest thing to ever have been written! But what’s even funnier is that it also had pictures!

I am a horrible artist. But the point is, from that to where I am now, it all makes sense.

I never stopped writing after that. In my head, there was always a story going on. I would make up elaborate stories for my stuffed animals and action figures. I didn’t actually start writing seriously again until I entered high school. My school life wasn’t easy. I was bullied like everyone else, and I got into a lot of trouble for fighting my bullies. To make matters worse, my home life was full of domestic violence, drugs, and alcohol. A very unstable environment, to say the least. So, I took refuge in my head and wrote and wrote and wrote. It became an addiction. A place I could escape to.

I joined the Army after high school, fleeing my chaotic home life. The Army was where I began to explore the world and myself more. I met a lot of great individuals that I still keep in contact with to this day. Brotherhood is a truly beautiful thing, but I had to let that go. The Army was hampering my creative spirit, so after almost four years, I decided to get out in 2017 to focus on my writing career. I immediately began working on an idea I had from high school, which is now published called Red Fist.

I published Red Fist in 2019 and the sequel in 2021. Both Red Fist and Red Fist Redemption are my first works. They show how much I had to learn on my own and how far I’m willing to go to make this dream of being one of the best authors I can be come true. I was a baby writer with both of those books, but what I learned has made me one hundred times better than I was before.

Now, I’ve written three more books with one more to go.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me, believed in me, and read my shorts and books. You guys don’t know how much it means to be surrounded by such wonderful souls.

I will write until every character that’s come to me voice is heard. Their stories deserve to be told too. Their messages are powerful and will impact you in ways you never thought were possible.

I made a pact with them to share their worlds and lives, and I plan to keep it.
